Maui Art

Lahaina Arts Society

Celebrating 40 Years
of Service to the
Maui Community

Lahaina Arts Society, on Maui, Hawaii, is a showcase and "training ground" for local artists, and has been at the center of Lahaina and its art scene since November 14, 1967. It is now the oldest art gallery in one of the largest art markets in the USA. Since 1968, the Society has been located in the Old Courthouse, an historic building in the center of Lahaina, down by the harbor. The building was constructed to form the seat of government for Maui, Hawaii, in the 1860s. Lahaina Arts Society is a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to arts education and Maui artists.

We foster and encourage art appreciation and expression, the development of artistic ability and other skills, particularly through the medium of classes or other guidance and instruction in all forms of art, including oil painting, water color, drawing, sketching, ceramics, sculpture, lei-making, oriental flower arrangement, interpretive dancing, little theater groups, and generally to cultivate and promote community interest in every form of artistic activity.
