Lanai Art Center at a Glance
Art buffs exploring Lanai won’t have a lot of luck: there’s
only one multicultural community arts program on the island. But the
Lanai Art Center more than makes up for it with its impressive collection
of local and international art, year-round exhibits and frequent
cultural events. The center often hosts shows and visits by
famous artists, both from Hawaii and the U.S. mainland.
What sets the Lanai Art Center apart is that you don’t just get to
view art – you also get to create your own. Workshops in various
fields are offered throughout the year, from basic arts and crafts
to specialized fields, such as calligraphy, woodworking and silk and
textile painting. A frequent hit with visitors is the class on
lei-making, a distinctly Hawaiian but surprisingly simple craft.
The gallery also features works by Lanai residents, most of which
are up for sale. Each piece is unique in its own right and very
reasonably priced. Sometimes you can even meet the artists
themselves – many of them show up regularly to give lessons or do
volunteer work as part of their commission deal.
The center is divided into mini-galleries featuring different art
genres, with some rooms used for occasional art exhibits. Those
worth checking out include the ceramics room, where you’ll find
ceramic products handmade by Lanai residents, and the stained glass and
mosaics studio, where you can watch and learn the art with other
visitors. One-day classes are offered for around $25, and longer
courses are offered with facilities in the back of the gallery.
