ARTwalk is a fine art and entertainment event that promotes local visual art and artists in a wide range of mediums and artistic style, including painting, sculpture, metal art, handmade jewelry, photography, glass works and island wood carvings.

The complimentary event is open to the public.

This provides the public with an opportunity to meet fellow art lovers, visitors, residents, artist and experience the creativity of some of Hawaiʻi and the world’s finest artists.

ARTwalk allows guests to stroll through six diverse galleries and meet the artists in residence at The Shops. Galleries include: aFeinberg Gallery, Ki’i Galleries, Lahaina Galleries, Mouche Gallery, National Geographic | Fine Art Galleries, and Tasini Tiki Gallery.

The Shops at Wailea supports a different Maui non-profit each month with 60% of the special event parking fees going back to the non-profit. May’s non-profit recipient is Hospice Maui.

The Shops’ goal is to enrich the community through exploration and discovery in the culture, arts, and music while supporting the local businesses and non-profit partners. Four-hour event parking is available for $5 dollars and can be purchased at the non-profit’s parking table.
