The event's mission is to foster an appreciation for plein air (outdoor) painting for Maui visitors and residents while supporting art activities within our community. In addition, the organization has a long term goal of establishing a fine arts museum on the West Side of Maui.

Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational
This weeklong event highlights 25 professional plein air painters from throughout Hawaii and the US Mainland. The painters capture the images of Maui - its people, its beaches and ocean scenes, its majestic mountains and valleys, and its historical buildings.
