Belonging is one of the most profound and uplifting human experiences. It’s the reminder that, no matter how different we may feel, spaces exist where we truly fit. Belonging is the feeling of being seen, accepted, and embraced–where your uniqueness is not only welcomed but celebrated.
The 18th Annual Art Auction celebrates 30 years of creating a community where everyone belongs–a community space rooted in art, culture, education, and connection. This important exhibition and fundraiser offers a rare opportunity to collect extraordinary artworks from emerging and established artists from Hawai‘i and beyond, while supporting the Mill’s essential arts programs.
This year's unforgettable Live Auction Event will be hosted by Auction Chair John Roth on Friday, February 21, at the OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa. Enjoy craft cocktails, heavy pūpū, lively entertainment, and the excitement of bidding on unique specialty items and experiences available exclusively that evening. During this special night, we’ll honor Setsuko Morinoue with the inaugural Visionary Award, celebrating her vision and passion that have shaped the Mill into the vibrant community art center it is today.
Together, let’s celebrate three decades of creativity and community, and nurture spaces where everyone feels they belong.
