The seven artists of Seven Artists Gallery in Wainiha invites the public to its grand opening today from 3 to 6 p.m., according to a press release.
There will be live entertainment by the Kaaumoana Ohana, plus wine, pupus and fudge will be served. An eclectic mix of arts and crafts will be available in a variety of price ranges.
The gallery showcases contemporary, abstract and representational paintings, photography and craftsmanship in glass, clay, jewelry and furniture making, the release states.
“Seven Artists Gallery seeks to empower artists and offer a model that promotes cooperation and unity,” the release says. “In a nutshell, it is a sole proprietorship utilizing democratic processes and providing a more equitable share of the profits. Every piece of art sold gives 60 percent to the artist and 30 percent to the seller, who is also one of the artists, who each work one day a week. The gallery receives 10 percent for administration and advertising. The artists each pay part of the rent and work together to create this unique gallery experience.”
Seven Artists Gallery is in Wainiha, 15 minutes past Hanalei toward the end of the road and next to the Wainiha General Store and Red Hot Mamas. It is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
