The Essence of Maui
Invitational Exhibition
Special Public Event: How Artists Think - Friday, February 5, 5-7 pm
Free admission — Drop by the gallery to meet some of the exhibiting artists who will discuss their approach to developing an idea from beginning to end and the steps they take along the way.
A select group of Maui-based artists were asked to create a unique work based on their personal interpretation of what the spiritual, cultural or social “essence” of Maui is to them. This exhibit provides innovative ideas that will broaden the perception of Maui as a tropical paradise and encourage us to examine new ways of thinking about the island.
Offering an insider’s look at the real faces of Maui, the 36 Essence artists (listed above) interpret their vision and concept in a variety of media, including oil painting, photography, ceramics, video and mixed media.
See articles in The Maui News, and the Maui Weekly.
Supported in part by the County of Maui — Office of Economic Development and Hawai‘i Tourism Authority.
Gallery is open Tuesday — Saturday, from 11 am to 5 pm, as well as before and during intermission at Castle Theater shows. Admission is always free.
