Inventory Transfer by the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Education (DOE)
The DOE transferred 207 works of art from the DOE ArtMobile collection to the SFCA. The ArtMobile was a program of the DOE bringing physical works of art to schools statewide. The program ended and the works of art were primarily in storage. These works are being catalogued and will be available once registration and photo documentation are complete.
