We've passed by this shop over a few dozen times over the years & decided to give it a go. The items are handmade from the Koa tree that is found in Hawaii. There are pens, jewelry, bags/purses, wallets, key chains, cutlery, ornaments, vases, kitchen items & other curious artwork displayed for sale. Candace was manning the shop & she was so friendly & welcoming. She even suggested a lady who might be able to create what we're looking for. This lady works from home & has a website (Tropical Isle Music). I love to support local businesses & Candace was so charming, I bought a couple of Aloha Hula girl ornaments & a pineapple (see photo) ornament. There's a few spaces for parking that it shares with Mankoa & a granola shack. It was lovely speaking with Candace, who I learned is actually half Filipino & half Japanese, born & raised in Kaua'i. Her grandfather was one of the first Filipinos who arrived from the Philippines to work in the plantations in Hawaii. It's always interesting to learn about people & their heritage. I'm very pleased with the experience & my purchases at this shop

Cleanliness is very poor. There were dead flies on some of the ceramic art. The frames were dusty…read more It smelled of food. Super gross gallery. A plug in would help although it's better not to eat in the lobby area. I noticed tables and chairs outside that can be utilized if no employee lounge is available. Perhaps the inattentive staff could spend time dusting while simultaneously droning on about childhood hardship? Just an idea. Even volunteers can be fired. The Artists deserve better and so do potential customers. We were hoping to find a piece and were very disappointed in the ambiance .

I don't usually review places like this, but I'm making an exception because Steve is such a rad dude, he sat and talked with us for awhile about how he captured some of his photos. His stories are funny and inspiring. In fact, we were so inspired by his stories that even though we walked in just to browse, we are going back to buy. Definitely check this place out when you visit Kauai.

Friendly staff and lots of art from local artists! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.read more

However, the older, blond woman working at The Artists Gallery was unwelcoming and RUDE. I find this sad for the artists who have art to sell there. First off, she does not acknowledge you when you enter and then if you converse with her you'll regret you did. We left the store shaking our heads. So disappointing since everyone else there was so kind and welcoming. I will be back to the Plantation on my next visit but will pass The Artists Gallery by on the lower floor across from the restaurant.

This gallery has been open in this historic plantation building for about 7 years. I looked…read morethrough it shortly after it opened, but didn't review it at the time, because it had an unfinished look, a perception that may have been augmented by my fondness for its predecessor. I came in today and was greeted warmly by the owner, Julie. The gallery's collection has grown beautifully over the past 7 years. There are ceramic pieces w/ lace and other textures on them. There is a stunning surfboard decorated w/ an intricate mosaic of different sized and shaped glass beads and tiles. So amazing. I understand there are a couple of surfboard showers and wonder if the artist is the same one whose work I admired at the little gallery by the cafe in Kalaheo when we were there last year. There are paintings and photographs. The paintings, while different from one artist to the next, share a textural interest that I found quite appealing. Julie is one of the artists exhibited and her work is beautiful. There will be an opening party for an exhibit of photography by Daniel Finchum this Saturday, September 24 from 6-9. His photographs are gorgeous, particularly his photographs of Hawaiian children. As usual, what called to me turned out to be art glass by Daniel Moe, although I took it at first for ceramic. Inspired by the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island where he lives, the glass is dark, w/ red lava-like accents. If you look at the photos posted by the gallery above you can see something similar and you can see why it drew me and why I'm searching my mind for a surface that might hold it. There was no turned wood, which was one of the things I loved about the previous gallery. I discussed this w/ Julie, who told me it was becoming increasingly difficult to get turned wood, for a variety of reasons. The gallery is elegant and attractive w/o it, but it's always nice to have more to look at. Addendum: As you might expect, we bought the piece of art glass. It's just not the kind of thing we could pass up.
