Hawai‘i Public Radio: ‘The show must go on’

On the loss of a $25,000 grant from the NEA for this year’s festival: “We are definitely prioritizing paying our artists. They have to get paid. We’ve already signed contracts with them, so if anything, we’ll eat the cost and go into the red ourselves, or have to pull from different income streams in order to cover the losses that we’re going to have with the festival.”
