Sense of Place/Place of Sense Exhibit

Sense of Place/Place of Sense Exhibit

Gallery is open Tue-Sat, 10am - 4pm with some exceptions. Free Admission. This exhibition explores the multi-faceted meaning of community at a critical moment of change for Maui, looking at who we are in the present time and the promise we hold for the future. The gallery space offers built environments with activated themes of history, water, land, spirituality, and people. Partnering organizations for components of the exhibition include University of Hawai‘i Center for Oral History, Maui Historical Society, and Lahaina Restoration Foundation.

The multi-faceted installation includes photography by Bob Bangerter, Masako Cordray, Ai Iwane, Brendan George Ko, Zach Pezzillo, and Matthew Thayer; video installation by Andy Behrle; prints by Abigail Romanchak; written ʻōlelo noʻeau by Pūlama Collier; mural painting by Cory Kamehanaokalā Holt Taum; and artwork by students from Pōmaikaʻi Elementary School and Baldwin High School. The experiences offered throughout the exhibition will tap into the potential for art to bring about awareness, dialogue, and connection, encouraging a deeper level of engagement with Maui and the people who have made this island home.

Be a Part of the Exhibit!

Visitors will have the chance to interact with stations integrated throughout the space, adding their own voice to the collective experience. These stations include a recording booth for capturing oral histories and an open call for photographs from the community.

Open Call for Photographs: Maui through Time

We invite Maui island residents to contribute photographs that encapsulate personal relationships to Maui, with a special emphasis on nostalgic images capturing past eras of local history. We encourage you to send your photo submissions. Photos will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the exhibit's showing. Go to MauiArts.org for more details.
