The Kilohana Art League was formed in 1894 as Honolulu’s first art association. On May 5, 1894,[1] the woodcarver Augusta Graham, the sculptor Allen Hutchinson, and painters D. Howard Hitchcock and Annie H. Park[3] created a forum where local artists could exhibit together and share ideas.[4] Other members included Alfred Richard Gurrey, Sr.[5] and Bessie Wheeler.[6]

“Kilohana’’ is a compound word derived from two Hawaiian language words: kilo meaning to observe carefully or to spy out, and hana, meaning work.[3] The Kilohana Art League was disbanded in 1913, and its funds were transferred to the Outdoor Circle.[7]

Organization

The League was organized into sub-organizations known as "circles", such as the Pictorial and Plastic Circle of the Kilohana Art League,[8] the Dramatic Circle of the Kilohana Art League,[8] the Musical Circle of the Kilohana Art League,[9] the Literary Circle of the Kilohana Art League,[10] and the Outdoor Circle of the Kilohana Art League.[11]
