Schaefer International Gallery at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center will feature its Young Creatives: Neighborhood Places exhibit through May 19, 2016.

This exhibit takes place every other year and features the work of Maui students from kindergarten to high school in both private and public schools.

Under the direction of their classroom teachers, students were asked to explore this year’s theme—neighborhood—to observe, identify and create artwork that reflects their unique ideas, and sense of place.

The playful gallery design will lead viewers on a topographical tour of Maui’s communities through the eyes of its students.
