It is amazing to be an artist on Maui, there is so much inspiration and creative energy along with a strong arts community. These are my 5 reasons why I love to be an artist here on the Island of Maui.
What Lahaina Means to Me as a Maui Artist
Lahaina has been the arts center of the Hawaiian islands for decades, with more art galleries in one square block than anywhere else in the archipelago. As a young artist going to the University of Hawaii at Manoa and trying to navigate the art world, showing my artwork in Lahaina seemed like a pipe dream. Lahaina is where the top artists show their work, and I still had a lot to learn. This is my experience as a young artist getting to show my work for the first time on the famous Front Street of Lahaina, Maui.
