Mission Statement:  "With a focus on South Kona, the Society for Kona's Education and Art serves the Hawaii Island community by providing arts and educational opportunities through programs, projects, and events that contribute to a vibrant community."

Overview:   SKEA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1981, hosts classes and workshops for the community, and runs spring and summer art camps for children 5-12. SKEA members receive a quarterly newsletter and may rent SKEA facilities for their own classes or events. SKEA is also home to the Kona Potters' Guild. Since 1982, our very successful Art of Learning program has provided Teaching Artists to South Kona public schools to bring music, dance, drama, and visual arts to students from pre-school through high school.
