According to a report released by the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART), a total of about $5 million has been budgeted to purchase art work for the Honolulu Rail Project’s 21 train stations. The Transit Arts Program administrator, Lisa Yoshihara, stated that the city, “wants the art to reflect a ‘sense of place’ that recognizes Hawaii’s multicultural landscape and reflects the community, or ahupuaa in which the station resides.” Yoshihara added, “We are currently developing a plan to engage the community and artists in this exciting opportunity to integrate art into our stations. We plan to unveil the program next year with a call for artists, which will include a workshop on how to apply. We will continue to keep the community informed as we move through the process.”
