Christmas in the Country: Annual Wreath Exhibition
November 29th – December 31, 2024

at VAC Gallery in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park

With warmest winter wishes and happiest holiday greetings, the Volcano Art Center welcomes all to the 25th Annual Christmas in the Country celebration starting Friday, November 29th. Featuring the Annual Invitational Wreath Exhibit that continues through December, 31st, 2024. Christmas in the Country promises an abundance of art and aloha to kick start your holiday season. VAC Gallery in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park creates a merry scene of an old-fashioned Christmas inside its 1877 historic building but the festivities this year spill beyond the park into VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. Plan to attend the Annual Volcano Hui Tour, a community tree lighting and acapella Christmas Carols at VAC’s Niaulani Campus on Friday, November 29th.

Both locations will showcase the exquisite artwork Volcano Art Center has become known for year-round, plus you’ll find unique holiday offerings of island-inspired gifts, ornaments and decorations made by Hawai`i Island artists. The concurrent Annual Wreath Exhibit presents one-of-a-kind wreaths in a variety of imaginative media, techniques and styles, from the whimsical to the traditional. This year’s theme “Sunrise To Sunset” reflects VAC’s 50 year commitment to creativity in our community!

The exhibit will also be available for viewing on VAC’s website upon opening. For more information please call (808) 967-7565 or email sales@volcanoartcenter.org
