Celebrating 40 Years of Service to the Maui Community

Aloha, and welcome to the Lahaina Arts Society (LAS).

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 dedicated to arts education and Maui artists.

The Lahaina Arts Society galleries are open seven days a week, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

648 Wharf Street, next to the historic banyan tree.

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Lahaina Arts Society is the collection and preservation of objects and materials of Hawaiian arts and crafts, to perpetuate Hawaiian culture, and to encourage and inspire artistic expressions of native Hawaiian skills and creativity.

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.

 Major activities: LAS is an organization dedicated in supporting artists launching their careers around Maui . LAS sponsors an outdoor artist fair in Lahaina on a bi-monthly basis.  It maintains two galleries in the Old Courthouse building in Lahaina.  LAS provides weekly children's art classes held in over eight different sites on Maui .  On an annual basis LAS also awards three scholarships to Maui High School students who are interested in art.
