Aloha Mai Kākou,

Welcome to the Creative Industries Division. Hawaiʻi’s creative community is broad, active and growing, from film and digital media to music, performing arts, publishing, design, culture and visual arts.

CID works with artists, entrepreneurs, productions, organizations and industry partners to support creative work across the state. Through the Hawaiʻi Film Office, Creative Lab Hawaiʻi, Entrepreneurs Sandbox Studio and other programs, our division helps connect people with resources, opportunities, facilities, permits, data and industry support.

We invite you to explore our site for information on film permits, production resources, Creative Lab Hawaiʻi programs, studio facilities, industry reports and Hawaiʻi’s creative sectors. For direct support, please contact our office. We would be glad to help guide you to the right resource.

Mahalo for your interest in Hawaiʻi’s creative economy.


Georja Skinner, Chief Officer
