The Volcano Art Center (VAC) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, educational organization, founded in 1974. Its mission is to promote, develop, and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawai'i's people and environment through activities in the visual, literary, and performing arts.

VAC is centered at Kilauea, home to Pele, the fiery Hawaiian goddess of the volcano. This dynamic, powerful environment, where new land is being formed every day, has inspired the Hawaiian people and their crafts, songs, dances, and legends for centuries. Today, this area continues to draw artists, performers, writers, scientists, and educators.

Exhibits, demonstrations, and events take place at the Gallery, featuring artwork by over 300 artists inspired by this awesome locale. Housed in the historic 1877 Volcano House Hotel adjacent to the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park visitors center, the VAC Gallery is operated under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service.

VAC programs include the award-winning Na Mea Hawai'i Hula Kahiko performance series at the pa hula, Hawaiian music and dance concerts, and Hawaiian classes and workshops, such as hula and Hawaiian language.

In addition, VAC presents a variety of special events and performances all year long; customized group programs focusing on Hawai'i's rich natural and cultural heritages; and classes and workshops in everything from fine arts and writing to music and dance.

Volcano Garden Arts is a World Heritage Site located one mile from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and was once part of the 1908 Hopper Estate. The farmhouse-turned-gallery is constructed of California redwood originally brought to Volcano by ship, rail and horse-drawn wagon. The manicured grounds include cultivated gardens, an art studio, greenhouses, plus nature trails that give access to the large upland rainforest that surrounds it.
Our selection ranges from fresh, fun collectables to works of significant impact, from pocket-sized to larger-than-life. Enjoy the lovely cultivated gardens and greenhouses, plus access to nature trails into the surrounding Ola'a Nature Reserve.
The present owner (he calls himself caretaker), internationally known artist Ira Ono (www.iraono.com), envisions a space where artists, gardeners, and writers from all over the world can explore, create, retreat and be inspired by the powerful and healing beauty of Volcano Village. Ira brings his vision to Volcano Garden Arts and over 30 years of teaching, making art and gardening in the Hawaiian Islands.
