2025 marks the 20th year of the annual Love The Arts gala!

This year’s, Love The Arts: "A Symphony of Wings," takes place on Saturday, February 15th, from 5pm to 8:30pm at Volcano Art Center's Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.

The VAC board of Directors, staff, and event committees are filled with anticipation as we prepare to make this beloved gala our finest yet. "Golden Circle" premium ticket packages including champagne, front row seating, overnight accommodations, and breakfast are available for patrons wishing to make the night extra special and wake to the delightful sounds of our beloved forest birds in the morning!

As a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, Volcano Art Center relies on annual events such this gala to raise essential operating funds.

The Volcano Art Center will soon face a critical challenge due to the upcoming closure of the Kīlauea Visitor Center in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. All of Kīlauea Visitor Center, restrooms, lānai and most parking will be closed for up to two years when construction and expansion begins in January of 2025.

 

VAC gallery in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park will be significantly affected by limited parking and diverted traffic.  Although VAC has plans to manage this period of change, our fundraising gala takes on an even greater level of importance. And so we ask, can you, our patrons; bring an addtional level of extra support to better help the arts community in Volcano?  Support such as yours is essential  to make this meaningful event a true success!

At this time the Volcano Art Center is accecpting dontaions for our silent and live auctions to help make this milestone event a success. We greatly appreciate your support.

If you have any questions please email info@volcanoartcenter.org or call  +1 (808) 967-8222. We kindly ask that any items donated are attached with our "LTA Donation Form" on or before January 8, 2025.
