Aupuni Space is an independent, artist-run gallery and venue located in the Kakaʻako neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Their mission is to provide space for community-based exhibitions and programming that feature Kanaka ‘Ōiwi and Hawaiʻi-based artists, as well as their international collaborators. Aupuni Space is one of the only venues in Honolulu that provides a global contemporary art lens on Hawaiʻi as well as a physical gathering space for locally engaged, experimental, and critical voices. Aupuni Space is a program of Puʻuhonua Society, in partnership with the TRADES Artist in Residence program, and operates under a not-for-profit model, which empowers them to produce relevant and compelling programming that authentically reflects Hawaiʻi nei.
