  • `Aha Hana Lima ("Gathering of the Crafts") is held annually. It's a series of intensive 3-day workshops, lectures, and dialogs concerned with various media: clay, metal, wood, fiber, or glass. A free open to the public slide lecture at the Honolulu Academy of Arts and an exhibition of the guest artists work are also part of this event.

  • The Annual Statewide Juried Exhibition of traditional and contemporary crafts brings a juror of national or international reputation to the state to jury entries on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Hilo, and Kona. The juror also presents a slide lecture at each site on his views and interpretations of either his work or the contemporary craft scene. Exhibiting artists and members of Hawai`i Craftsmen act as docents during the exhibit, which lasts for at least 3 weeks.

  • Fiber Hawai`i offered every other year with the exception of 2005 which was cancelled for lack of member support. This exhibition encourages participation from artists in all media who wish to explore fiber related work. In this case fiber as a media as well as fiber as an idea is encouraged. The juror also presents a slide lecture about their work or developments in the field, which is free and open to the public. When appropriate, a workshop is also offered.
