October 31 – November 24
In their Front Gallery, the Firehouse Gallery in Waimea will feature art showing the best of Hawaii Island from October 31 to November 24. Pieces on exhibit were inspired by the beauty of the Big Island – including Akaka Falls, Kilauea Volcano, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa Volcanoes, the dry forest area near Kona with Wiliwili trees, the green pasture lands of Waimea and North Kohala to the Hamakua Coast with Waipo Valley and areas near Hilo.
The back part of the gallery will start off our holiday “affordable art sale.” This is a collection created by the Arts Council’s local artists. The only criteria is that the art may be anything the artists want but must be priced at $250 or less. The collection also includes Koa wood creations, prints and cards.
All of the art work is created by local artists who are also members of the Waimea Arts Council and will include photography, drawings, original oil paintings, watercolor paintings or mixed media. Additionally, the collection will include handcrafted Koa wood art pieces.
