While the outside world might associate Hawaii strictly with world class beaches, beautiful sunsets and surfing, Hawaii is in fact home to a bustling art scene that includes painters, sculptors, fiber artists, and photographers. In Hawaii you will find artists working in any medium you would find in any other cosmopolitan city around the globe. Like any city with a population of working artists, Hawaii is home to galleries, museums, arts organizations, and print shops -- all the resources an artist needs to work his magic.
Of course, being an artist is not only about creating the art as most professional artists will want to display as well as sell their work. To meet artists' needs, Hawaii has many art galleries, many that specialize and feature the work of local artists. Honolulu's historic Chinatown has in recent times become a center for arts-related events and is home to many popular galleries. One well known gallery is the Pegge Hopper Gallery on Nu'uanu Street. Pegge Hopper is an established artist in Hawaii whose portraits of Polynesian woman can be found in hotels and high-end restaurants all over the state. In addition to showing her recent work, the Pegge Hopper Gallery frequently hosts group shows of local artists. Another gallery located in Chinatown is thirtyninehotel which is also known as a multi-media space. Thirtyninehotel hosts art shows with paintings, prints and photographs hanging on the walls, but their specialty is art installations. Artist frequently will be given carte blanch to create a complete art experience using all of the walls and surfaces with paintings or other mixed media.
Many Hawaii artists will find themselves wanting to further their education, or might have the knowledge to teach to others. The Honolulu Museum of Art fills this community need by offering a wide variety of classes often taught by local artists. Classes include subjects such as painting and drawing, textiles and fiber, metal and jewelry as well as ceramics. The museum also offers classes in Japanese Tea Ceremony, which is considered an art in its own right.
Despite the cultural diversity that gives much of Hawaii a cosmopolitan air, the state is still relatively small, and because of this, Hawaii's art community is very close-nit. A number of organizations arrange shows and represent artists in the community. One such group is the Hawaii Arts Alliance. Based in Chinatown, this group is well known for enriching the lives of the artists as well as the community by the advancement, education and celebration of the arts in Hawaii. Another group is the State Foundation of the Arts whose mission according to their website is "Promoting, perpetuating, preserving and encouraging the culture and the arts, history and the humanities as central to the quality of life of the people of Hawaii."
There are many Hawaii artist who are successful on a commercial level, shipping their artwork around the globe on a daily basis. To meet the demands of their clients, many local artist opt to have their art work scanned and printed locally to then be shipped.
