The tiny former sugar plantation town of Hawi on Hawi Road has quietly become one of the Big Island's best art discovery spots. This cooperative gallery showcases work from six local artists who actually own the space — you're buying directly from the creators. Expect everything from delicate pottery and stunning glasswork to jewelry made from Hawaiian materials and contemporary paintings, all inspired by North Kohala's dramatic landscape.
What sets this apart from resort galleries is the authenticity and range. You'll find pieces from $20 to $500+, and the artists are often there to chat about their work. Bonus: they sell some of the island's best macadamia nuts — lightly roasted and vacuum-sealed for incredible freshness.
