“The physical wall represents the exact opposite of what the Statue of Liberty symbolizes.
The wall has become a metaphor for many aspects of what this country has become.
The wall in economic and social equality, the wall in social justice,
the wall in education, the wall in gender freedom and the wall in our political system.
If we want to move forward, we need to take the bricks out of the wall
and make a path to a fair and bright future.”
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."
