GALLERIES
Hana Coast Gallery This gallery is a good reason to go to Hana: It's an
aesthetic and cultural experience that informs as it enlightens. Tucked away in
the posh hideaway hotel, the gallery is known for its high level of curatorship
and commitment to the cultural art of Hawaii. The 3,000-square-foot gallery is
devoted entirely to Hawaii artists, featuring sculptures, paintings, prints, feather
work, stone work, and carvings in displays that are so natural they could well
exist in someone's home. In the Hotel Hana-Maui. & 808/248-8636.
Lahaina Arts Society Galleries With its membership of more than 185 Maui
artists, the nonprofit Lahaina Arts Society is an excellent community resource.
Changing monthly exhibits in the Banyan Tree and Old Jail galleries offer a
good look at the island's artistic well: two-dimensional art, fiber art, ceramics,
sculpture, prints, jewelry, and more. In the shade of the humongous banyan tree
in the square across from Pioneer Inn, “Art in the Park” fairs are offered every
second and fourth weekend of the month. 648 Wharf St., Lahaina & 808/661-3228.
GIFTS & SOUVENIRS
Sig Zane Designs Wailuku Sig Zane is synonymous with the best in aloha

Zane design has depth and sizzle. The staff is helpful and willing to share the
background of each design, so you will learn much about the culture, botany,
mythology, and beauty of the islands. 53 Market St., Wailuku. & 808/249-8997.
Totally Hawaiian Gift Gallery This gallery makes a good browse for its
selection of Niihau shell jewelry, excellent Hawaiian CDs, Norfolk pine bowls,
Hawaiian quilt kits, soaps, handcrafted dolls, and hundreds of other “finds.” It's
also in the Maui Marriott in Kaanapali ( & 808/667-2171 ). In the Lahaina Cannery
Mall, 1221 Honoapiilani Hwy., Lahaina. & 808/667-2558.

An inside Look at Lei Making
