Art To Heart Gala. The 15th Annual Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational presented by Maui Arts League February 15-23, 2020 encompasses nine days, 16 events, and more than 200 original paintings. The largest plein air painting invitational in Hawaii, it showcases the works of 24 professional painters from across the US and as far away as Australia. The painters capture the images of Maui – its people, beaches and ocean scenes, majestic mountains, verdant valleys, and historical buildings. The public watches artists create inspiring works, attends art sales and participates in educational workshops, lectures, panel discussions, and more. Ticketed events include Pre- and Post-event workshops, the elegant “Art to Heart Gala” and “Take an Artist to Breakfast”. Free events such as paint outs, auctions, and art sales, take place throughout the schedule at various locations across the island. The Art to Heart Gala is an elegant evening, a tribute to the 24 participating artists, features a champagne reception, Ku’ia Chocolate tasting, gourmet dining (choice of entrée), entertainment, and original paintings for sale. Each includes $50 toward the purchase of a painting. Island elegant attire suggested. For tickets, a complete schedule and more information go to MauiArtsLeague.org.
