Mission​ ​Statement

East Hawai’i Cultural Center’s Youth Arts Series (YAS) is an exciting immersion experience for young artists. Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of engaging and innovative art-making processes. We strive to enrich the artistic abilities of our students in a fun, nurturing environment that stimulates their artistic talents. YAS offers students a wide range of mediums that provide a variety of creative outlets to stimulate their imaginations and to promote their ability to think outside the box. Each day, students rotate through classes that include basic principles of design, traditional and contemporary media, and self-expression. YAS coincides with the Department of Education’s K-12 academic breaks throughout the year. New workshop day-camps are held each academic break to encourage continuing participation.

These classes are available to students ages 8-12. Experienced instructors and artists lead each session. YAS is an ongoing workshop program presented by East Hawai‘i Cultural Center. This October YAS has partnered with it’s fellow EHCC programs, Hilo UrbFarm and Piko Press to bring students a jam-packed and diverse learning experience. YAS is going green in support of the sustainability efforts of its partners. In celebration of its 1st anniversary YAS would like to do its part in encouraging students to be mindful in their art making processes. Classes will include projects that promote upcycling, environmental consciousness and sustainability.
