The Volcano Art Center (VAC) is delighted to announce its 27th Annual Wreath Exhibition, opening November 25th, 2026. This beloved holiday exhibition showcases locally made wreaths, ornaments, and seasonal décor created in a wide range of imaginative media, techniques, and styles. This year’s theme, “Birds of the Rainforest” invites artists to draw inspiration from Hawaiʻi’s feathered native and endemic birds, forest foliage and native flora. Participating artists are invited to honor the beauty of Hawaiʻi in their own creative ways and draw inspiration from the vibrant colors and fragrances of iconic native flora and fauna. The result is a stunning collection of wreaths, ornaments, and décor that celebrate both tradition and innovation. Handmade wreaths will be on display at both gallery locations, (VAC Gallery in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and at its Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village) as well as online at www.volcanoartcenter.org, offering visitors multiple opportunities to experience the exhibition.
The Volcano Art Center invites community members and visitors to join us this holiday season and enjoy the festive atmosphere while celebrating the creativity of our local community.
The Wreath Exhibition opens with a special preview for members at VAC Gallery on Wednesday, November 25th from 2-4pm. As usual the Gallery in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park will be open on Thanksgiving day.
Join us for a celebration of local artistry and experience the holiday season at the Volcano Art Center (VAC).
Festivities continue beyond the park Gallery into VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano all month long. Special events not to miss include purchasing locally grown live poinsettia plants provided by Big Island grower, Lehua Lena Nursery, and the Annual Volcano Village Artists Hui Tour from Friday, Nov. 27th – Sunday, Nov 29th from 10am to 4 pm,.
