“This is a plein air painting I started at 2 pm at Makena Landing. While painted during Covid,
there were a few people in the water and on the Landing. At 3:30 a woman asked politely
if she could view the work, and I welcomed her inquiry. From 3:30 to 6 pm she and her husband
talked story about having grown up in Paia, and about the places around where I now live.
Sometimes the conversations are worth staying put for, along with the view!”
In 1989, The Maui News called Viewpoints Gallery “a jewel in the art scene”; decades later Viewpoints has become one of the finest art galleries in the State. The discerning art lover will discover representational and contemporary works in a variety of media by Maui’s finest artists and artisans.
Viewpoints Gallery has been driven by a keen sense of community, providing support and paying respect to the culture, the environment, and the arts through events and exhibits. The gallery sets itself apart in action and deed, and has been instrumental in establishing programs that reflect living art history here in the islands.
On Baldwin Avenue, near the lower end of the commercial district, is the establishment that launched the town’s reputation as an art colony – The Courtyard in Makawao. In the early 1900s, this was the site of a movie theater where, on Saturday nights, cowpokes from nearby ranches would come to see silent pictures starring Tom Mix and William S. Hart.
Pictures of a different sort are on view today. You’ll find Viewpoints Gallery – a favorite for the art aficionado in search of top-quality local art.
"Imagine a place you never tire of visiting because of the beauty, the exquisite quality, indeed the joy to discover a new way to look at the world - that's what Viewpoints does for me."
