Five stars for a free art gallery in the center of downtown! The current exhibition is black and white photography; some interesting pieces. Worth a quick visit.

Downtown Art Center is a fantastic venue to check out Hawai'i based artists. Highly recommend visiting on First Fridays. They also host fun workshops and host immersive performance art experiences.

Beautiful gallery supporting local artists from Hawaii. Very welcoming staff and a cosy atmosphere, exactly what the China town needs. They also have drawing classes that seems to be highly attended. Definately worth a visit!
