Located in a historic police station building across from Kalakaua Park in downtown Hilo, the collective maintains high standards for aesthetic expression through exhibitions, performances and programs centered around art, theater and music.
Within the cultural center, a curated concept store called “Space” adds a fresh take on art sales and community-building through revolving exhibits that integrate and promote fine art and design.
