AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Performing Arts Grants Program under the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to support and promote performing arts in Hawaii. The bill expands the foundation's existing responsibilities to explicitly include coordination, planning, promotion, marketing, and execution of performing arts events, which are defined as arts performed before an audience, such as dance, singing, musical performances, and theatre. It broadens the definition of "arts" to include performing arts and modifies the Works of Art Special Fund to allow its use for performing arts event coordination and promotion. The bill appropriates $1,000,000 for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to provide grants under the new program, and requires the foundation to submit an annual report to the legislature detailing the grants awarded and the outcomes of the supported performing arts events. The purpose of the bill is to recognize performing arts as an important medium for creative expression and to ensure wider access to artistic performances that can tell meaningful stories and provide engaging experiences for Hawaii's residents.
