Hui No’eau is honored to collaborate with Lynn Shue of Village Galleries to present New Directions: A Village Gallery Showcase.

Celebrating the strength and resilience of Maui artists, this exhibition stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Village Galleries and the unwavering spirit of the Maui arts community.

Hui No’eau is pleased to present two concurrent solo exhibits in the Hui's adjoining gallery spaces as part of the 2024 Solo Artist Exhibition featuring Maui-based artists Sachelle Dae and Zenobia Lakdawalla. Hui No‘eau’s Solo Artist Exhibition series provides two artists with the unique opportunity to be involved in all facets of exhibition planning and installation. It challenges artists to envision and produce an innovative and cohesive body of work to be shown in a professional gallery setting. Through an open call to artists across the state, Dae and Lakdawalla were selected as the two artists to present their solo shows in this exhibition.

Hui No‘eau is thrilled to collaborate with Gar Waterman, the Hui’s 2023 Artist in Residence, to engage the community in the discovery, celebration, and conservation of Hawai‘i’s marine ecosystems.

The Retrospective series was designed to acknowledge the contributions of individuals who have made a profound influence on local art and to share their work and ideas with the community. Hui No‘eau is honored to celebrate the work of artist Eddie Flotte.

Eddie landed on Maui in 1985 with the tools of his trade, a bit of skill, and an intense desire to make the most of his talent. Within his first month, he met his muse, Sandy Cotton. Immediately they formed an unbreakable bond as friends and partners. Sandy’s immeasurable support, love, and faith in Eddie’s work made their extraordinary and prolific journey together possible. A nostalgic nod to Maui’s past, Eddie’s paintings are love letters that capture the last days of Maui plantation life before the wave of modern development. His work also depicts his travels and extended stays in Wyeth’s Chadds Ford, The Wetlands of the Jersey Shore, and the area around his hometown of Ambler, PA.
