Gallery Exhibitions:

The main gallery at the East Hawaiʻi Cultural Center is a unique forum showcasing six annual exhibitions on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Works of emerging and mid-career artists, cultural artists, and alternative voices offer a platform for conversations with our community; conversations which might be personal, conceptual, political, or social; resonant windows into the aesthetic and mystical human nature we all share.
