ASB Proves Support for Hawaiian Artists

A fair number of companies in Hawai'i say they support Hawaiian values. But how many of them walk the talk? Kudos to American Savings Bank for proving their support. The bank recently renovated the corporate headquarters, and contracted with 28 local artists to provide paintings, scuplture and lighting. Many of the artists are of Hawaiian ancestry, and many of the art works reflect the bank's commitment to Hawaiian values.

I have a personal interest in this because my husband is one of the artists selected. You can see his lamps at MarkChaiArts.com So often we have watched as one company after another uses mainland architects and artists to try to create a Hawaiian sense of place. They can't do it!

Do you want Hawaiian values to permeate your organization? Think locally, act locally.
