2021 Award Winners

This award was established in honor of the late co-founder of CATS, Dr. Jerry Hiura, who was a poet, artist, jewelry maker and musician- multi- faceted in spirit and talent. This award was created with the goal to continue his mission of promoting young artists. This inaugural year has brought us many treasures. The theme - What It Means to be AAPI - brought forth creativity in various disciplines and dimensions.

Dr. Jerry would have been proud and excited by these young artists. We at CATS are equally proud to share their work with the public. They are showing us in so many ways - What It Means to be AAPI Congratulations!
