#wailuku mural

Maui Walking Tours LLC has expanded to offer free city walking tours in both Kīhei and Wailuku. The tour company’s newest guided walking tour takes participants through the streets of Wailuku sharing stories of its rich history. In addition to highlighting historic landmarks, buildings, and architecture, the tour weaves close to a dozen Wailuku street murals into the route, sharing the history and culture depicted through art. Tours are held every other Saturday, starting at the courtyard in front of the State Office Building and last 90 minutes.

The County of Maui and its program, “Small Town, Big Art” recently marked the completion of Kirk Kurokawa’s mural titled “Ho’omau” at the Victim Witness Building at 2103 Wells Street in Wailuku.

Leading the latest piece is artist Eric Okdeh, a Philadelphia-based muralist, known locally as the artist behind the 2012 Nā Wai ‘Ehā mural (on Market & Main, adjacent to Request Music).

The “Mural of Hope” is dedicated to the launch of UVSC whose mission is to bring people together to provide a hopeful future for cancer patients.

Thanks to the Hui No‘eau’s Maui Mural Project, artist, Eric Okdeh joined members of the Maui community in carrying out his artistic vision.
