Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center is honored to collaborate with Lynn Shue of Village Galleries to present New Directions: A Village Gallery Showcase. This invitational exhibition features the work of over 20 Maui artists represented by Village Galleries, a fixture of Lahaina town since 1970 tragically lost in the recent Lahaina fire. Celebrating the strength and resilience of Maui artists, this exhibition stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Village Galleries and the unwavering spirit of the Maui arts community.

Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Schaefer International Gallery presents the group exhibition FOCUS, featuring seven contemporary Japanese photographers who go by the collective name of “photography?end?”. The group consists of Yuji Hamada, Ken Kitano, Miki Nitadori, Yuki Onodera, Naruki Oshima, Risaku Suzuki, and Kazuyoshi Usui. Their respective avenues of work look at the potentiality of photography in a rapidly evolving digital age. While the production of images has become largely dematerialized in our current moment, the artists consider the materiality of photography and explore the relationship between conception, theme, and exhibition of work.
The exhibit runs June 15 through August 7. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 4pm. Free Admission

Matthew H James presents “Fading Feeds”. Fading Feeds is a reflection of Hawai’i through the lens of social media.
Since moving to the mainland much of my experience with Hawai’i as a contemporary culture comes through my social media feed. The juxtaposition of Hawaiʻi and comment sections on social media creates a dynamic expression deep seated with cultural subtleties. These paintings capture my experience of Hawai’i from a distance.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, July 26th from 5 - 9 PM!
