Open studios have been a signature feature of the Volcano Village Artist Hui since its inception. Hundreds of visitors participate in the tour, many of them coming back year after year for this opportunity to collect uniquely crafted items directly from some of the island’s finest artists. In addition to new pieces by established Hui members, new talent is represented by guest artists showing in the Hui studios. This is a once a year opportunity for visitors to meet resident artists and view their latest offerings.
