2012
A yearlong Laila-Twigg Smith grant project brings together arts administrator Kelly McHugh-White, County of Maui’s Erin Wade and Philadelphia Mural Arts’ Eric Okdeh to create the Nā Wai ʻEhā mural in Wailuku, amidst the transformative reWailuku community visioning effort.

2015
Wade & McHugh-White develop plans to expand public art in Wailuku, meeting with stakeholders, producing workshops and bringing the dialogue to creative placemaking as Capital Improvement Projects plans are initiated for the Maui redevelopment district.

2018
Maui County is selected as sole Hawaiʻi awardee for 2-year national arts grant to support the planning and implementation of place-based pilot arts programming in Wailuku. The project is entitled SMALL TOWN * BIG ART (ST*BA), a nod to the Town motto: Small Town, Big Heart.

|
2020
In partnership with Sissy Lake-Farm of the Maui Historical Society, the ST*BA pilot yields 20 works of public art created with community input that are grounded in ‘Ōlelo No‘eau. The positive community response results in a commitment by the County to extend funding into an additional year of programming and plans for expansion. Maui Public Art Corps is incorporated.

2021
The ST*BA program continues as a County of Maui initiative to revitalize Wailuku Town. Plans are developed to expand the program as a private-public partnership (PPP) of the County, Maui Historical Society and the newly formed nonprofit: Maui Public Art Corps, with a goal to execute a countywide Percent-for-Art program.
