The epicenter of Maui’s art world is in the historic whaling town
of Lahaina. There are more than 100 galleries on Maui and most of
them are in the Lahaina area. You’ll find a fascinating amount of
great international and local art in a very concentrated area. Every
art lover’s heart jumps when discovering those treasures of Maui.
Every Friday night, Lahaina turns into a party city when the Lahaina
Galleries serve wine and pupus and visitors browse from one to the
other to see great work, meet some artists and chat with other
visitors.
If you want to get really close, you can join an organized tour that
takes you to the homes and studios of local artists, where you can
get a peek over their shoulder.
Maui offers not only a huge selection of exquisite galleries
featuring word-class paintings and sculptures. This small island is
in the process of becoming a true cultural hub for the Hawaiian
Islands with its big name concerts and the annual Maui Film Festival
that already has the serious attention of Hollywood.
