Hui Noʻeau Visual Arts Center on Maui is presenting its Annual Juried Exhibition from January 16 to February 20, 2026. The open-theme show features works in ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, photography, painting, digital media, jewelry, Hawaiian cultural arts, wood, fiber, and more, juried by Denise Karabinus, Executive Director of Honolulu Printmakers. The exhibition opens with a juror walkthrough and reception on January 16, and artists from Maui and beyond were invited to submit work created within the past two years.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the vibrant, community-driven visual arts scene on Maui and provides a platform for both established and emerging artists across diverse media. The involvement of a respected off-island juror like Karabinus brings fresh perspectives and helps connect local artists to broader networks, reinforcing the role of regional art centers in sustaining cultural production and dialogue outside major metropolitan hubs.
