We are ecstatic to announce that on Monday, June 1st at 10am, Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village will reopen to the public! Our Gallery location in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park reopens on Wednesday, June 17 at 9am. As the State of Hawaiʻi slowly reopens for business, VAC is getting ready to welcome you back with a few updates!

We’re pleased to announce that Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park officially reopens with reduced operating hours on Wednesday, June 17 at 9am under CDC guidelines and social distancing protocol. VAC Gallery will be open Wednesday – Sunday from 9am – 5pm (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays).

The Niaulani Gallery in Volcano Village remains open Monday – Friday from 10am – 4pm.

Remember that you can always shop our online gallery 24/7. We are continuing to ship orders as regularly scheduled and FREE Local Pickup is available.

In the meantime, while we prepare for reopening, have you visited our newly launched  Virtual Classroom, which features over 90 videos for you to enjoy from the comfort of your home? We invite you to view the virtual classroom here!

We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the Volcano Art Center ‘Ohana who have contributed donations, made purchases, took online courses, and offered support in so many ways these last few months. We are so appreciative and can’t tell you enough how uplifting it is to hear from you while being confronted with the harsh realities of canceled contracts and budget cuts that VAC faces today. Your contributions provide us the needed hope in restructuring our creative community. As we softly reopen, VAC continues to place the safety and health of our associates, artists, members, and customers first and want you to know that we are doing all we can to make sure everyone feels comfortable. We outline this below.
