The Southside Arts Initiative is dedicated to celebrating the diversity of cultures and ages in Kaua'i through arts and music. We believe that when diversity is celebrated through the arts, community members may find common respect, understanding, and belonging with other cultures as well as their own. 

Our year-round work culminates in the annual Southside Music and Arts Festival. This event brings the community together to celebrate Kaua'i artists and musicians and create opportunities for connection. 

Southside Arts Initiative in a 501c3 non profit organization. Our funding comes from member dues and sponsorships. All profits 
are donated to our nonprofit partners, who are chosen for their commitment to art, music, and/or diversity in Kaua'i County.
