Thank you to the thousands of visitors who came to Hoʻomaluhia and visited the gallery to see the show! It was a very good show with a lot of wonderful experiences for the artists involved, and we hope for our visitors as well! Our next show will be in October 2025, same place, Ho'omaluhia. This is extremely unusual. We feel very lucky to show twice this year at one of the best gallery spaces on the island! The juror for this show was accomplished local painter Lynne Boyer who also just happens to be a two-time world surfing champion. Quite an impressive set of accomplishments! She chose awards for our guild that we would like to document in this post.

Windward Artists Guild will be joining the Association for Hawaii Artists to deck the halls of Arts at Marks Garage with amazing gifts for the holidays. See all the relevant information below (it's a choose-your-own postcard adventure!), and please do join us for two special receptions: Festive First Friday, December 6 from 5 - 8 PM. December 27 from 5 - 8 PM. Pau Hana -AND- Pau Makahiki!

Please join us at the reception on Thursday, August 22 from 4 - 6 pm for the opening reception of our latest show, located in the soaring space of Honolulu Hale. Itʻs a beautiful show! The juror is Robert Mace, who did a wonderful job of selecting 99 pieces for display from just shy of 130 entries. He had to curate for space, so every piece kept had fierce competition to be on display, and the result is a very polished show that lives up the the theme of diversity featuring everything from hand-painted silks and bronze sculpture to assemblage and ceramics along with our usual paintings in a variety of media. We have online sales, though it is designed to work in tandem with the actual show. We have thumbnails and titles of each work, but it is not a full online show. However, you may purchase the works from this show here during the duration of the show: https://windwardartistsguild.org/64th-member-show
