Children's Art Classes
A Bit of History
For decades the Lahaina Arts Society provided free, on-site art classes and activities to children living in Maui County. Classes began at the Banyan Tree Gallery and the Old Jail Gallery in the historic Old Lahaina Courthouse in the 1970s, and the Lahaina Arts Guild continues this tradition with local artists as teachers and mentors for our Keiki.
We are always seeking volunteers to help with our children's art classes. For more information please reach out to Director, BillSmith at:

Cell: 909-496-8833
Please Note: As new events and classes are announced, we will be inviting children to join our classes. As soon as it opens, we will be teaching at the YMCA Community Resource Center in Lahaina. At this time, however, due to the Lahaina fire disaster, we are not currently accepting individual registrations. Our focus is on rebuilding and running our school classes.
