The Maui Crafts Guild is located in Paia, Hawaii on Maui's north shore, and features 100% local handmade art. We are Maui's only artist owned and operated cooperative gallery.
Individually, we are professional artisans
committed to producing fine crafts of excellent quality. We have joined together
to form a business that is a viable alternative to regular gift shops, art galleries
and craft fairs. Every aspect of the business is run by and for its members,
making us unique to Maui. A board of directors is elected from the membership.
The general membership meets once every month to make collaborative decisions
and we have been doing so for 26 years.
With about 30 members, the guild is a collective of ceramists, woodworkers,
printmakers, jewelers, textile artists, photographers, glass artists, basket
weavers...and a few who defy classification. Work exhibited in the gallery is
selected through a comprehensive jurying process that ensures the highest quality
and excellence in craftsmanship. Each artist must be a current resident of Maui
for at least 6 months before being considered for membership. (Please visit
our Contact page for more information.) The artisans transform
everyday materials into creative results, allowing you to quite literally take
a piece of Maui home with you!
The gallery is staffed by guild members, so there is
an artisan in residence every time you visit. Make sure to stop by and see us
the next time you are in town! The gallery is open daily from 10 am - 6 pm.
