The Big Island Art Fair returns to Kahilu Town Hall in Waimea from April 23-25th, 2026, offering the community a chance to not only purchase local art but to participate directly by voting in a Fair sponsored art contest. The three-day event will showcase approximately twenty local artists daily and feature live demonstrations.

A central feature of the Fair is the "Signs of Spring" art contest where local artists are invited to interpret the “Signs of Spring” through their artwork. Visitors to the fair are encouraged to view the submitted artwork and vote for their favorite pieces. The contest will conclude with cash prizes being awarded to the winning artists on Saturday afternoon at 3:00PM.

The event provides an opportunity for patrons to connect with artists and witness their creative process firsthand through a series of demonstrations:
- Shannon Guzzo : Seed Bead Weaving - Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
- Blanka Holmes : Collage Experience - Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
- PuaMaka Müller : Wood/Gourd Burning - Thursday, Friday, and Saturday

The fair will feature a wide variety of media for sale, including acrylic and oil painting, mosaics, ceramics, jewelry, digital art, photography, and more.
