Lahaina Arts Society Sets Gallery Re-Opening Event April 24
The Lahaina Arts Society's Banyan Tree Gallery has scheduled its Grand Re-Opening on Saturday, April 24. From that date on, the Gallery will be open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
For 53 years, the Banyan Tree Gallery has been an international destination for art lovers and collectors. The Gallery is located inside the Old Lahaina Courthouse, on the first floor of the historic landmark.
“We are excited to showcase our artists' latest creations in our freshly painted and reimagined gallery,” said William F. Smith, III, Executive Director of Lahaina Arts Society, "Everyone is welcome, and private gallery showings are available upon request."
The re-opening comes after a challenging year of quarantine orders and lockdowns from the historic pandemic response.
“It’s been a long year away from our community,” Smith said. “Visitors and the local community will now be able to continue to enjoy the remarkable art of professionally juried artists who demonstrate their craft and talk story about art and community on Maui.”
Visitors can easily find Banyan Tree Park, adjacent to the wharf and marina in Lahaina. Open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily starting April 24.
