Kauluhiwaolele Maui Fiber Arts Conference
September 11 to 13, 2025

Kauluhiwaolele Maui Fiber Arts Conference is dedicated to the revitalization, celebration, and transmission of Native Hawaiian knowledge of fiber arts. We gather to honor the ʻike (knowledge), moʻokūʻauhau (lineage), and hana noʻeau (artistic excellence) of Hawaiian ancestors, weaving together tradition and innovation.
