About Hui Noʻeau Visual Arts Center
The Hui has art classes for adults and children, as well as working artists’ studios. Maui art on display, and art done on the premises, includes painting, ceramics, photography, sculpture, and lithographs. There are media labs and weekend workshops. Of course, there’s a gift shop.
All of this is in and around the beautiful historic buildings and grounds of the old Baldwin House Kaluanui estate, including the plantation mansion built in 1917. There’s a jewelry studio, old stables, printmaking studio, lithograph studio, old mill, children’s studio and gardens, photo studio, ceramic studio, and kilns. House, lawn, and gallery hours are 10 AM to 4 PM Monday through Saturday. You can see it all on your own, or sign up for a 1-hour guided walking tour on Monday and Wednesday mornings. There are classes and workshops for all ages and abilities, and some of them are single-day events suitable for Maui visitors.
Want more art? Head to the Shops at Wailea and check out Kush Fine Art.
Vladimir Kush, the Russian born artist behind the style he calls metaphorical realism, opened his first Maui gallery in Lahaina in 2001 with his father. The gallery grew to showcase paintings, limited edition prints, bronze and silver sculpture, and a fine jewelry line that turns his signature motifs into wearable pieces. After the Lahaina wildfires in August of 2023, the team committed to rebuilding on island (now just down the street from Valdimir’s home) and created new work that honors the community.
Today, Kush Fine Art & Jewelry welcomes visitors at The Shops at Wailea in South Maui, where you can see recent originals and editions, explore the jewelry collection, and support a Maui gallery that is moving forward.
