Artist in Residence
Kalani offers artists an experience of the beauty of rural Hawaii combined with the stimulation of an international cultural center. Residence provides the artist with the impetus to complete works in progress or to strike out in new directions.
Accommodation and Living Space
Kalani offers various types of simple but comfortable accommodations. Working space, other than the accommodations, is usually limited, shared and must be kept intact and presentable for others. Our lodges have a multipurpose studio space with lawn and ocean vistas. Visual artists and dancers use the studio spaces as available. Writers generally work in their rooms, out-of-doors, or in the cafe.
Every effort is made to protect the artist's privacy during working hours. Telephone messages are delivered only in an emergency.
Food and Service
Three times per day abundant, healthful and delicious cuisine is served on an open-air lanai (veranda). Linen service is provided once a week or upon special request. Laundry service can be arranged at the front desk, or you may wish to drive (15 minutes) to facilities in Pahoa village.
