CULTURALYST: A Tool for Artists to Get Found and Funded

🎨 Context

You're an artist, a creative, someone who creates work that makes the world a better place. You've done the work, but you're struggling to get noticed. Your bio's on one site, your portfolio is scattered across different platforms, and you often miss grant deadlines by just a week. Opportunities that could elevate your career are happening outside Hawaiʻi, and you often find out about them too late.

Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance's statewide Listening Sessions in 2025 highlighted a critical issue: visibility and access, not talent, are the biggest barriers for Hawaiʻi's artists. Culturalyst aims to bridge that gap — offering a single platform to be discovered, track opportunities, and avoid logistical pitfalls.

Join us for a live demonstration showcasing how Culturalyst is already helping artists find opportunities and gain exposure!
