I've been coming here for years to get custom items framed and have never been disappointed with the work that has been done. The staff is great and very helpful. This location is in Kahaluu after the Hygienic Store where Kam Hwy & Old Kam Hwy merges at the Seven-11. It is a cute 2 story building with parking to the side. They have a great variety of art pieces throughout the gallery. You can easily get lost in the beauty of the art work. Kyle always does a tremendous job and the staff are so so kind. If you have any framing needs or are looking for some art pieces, I would definitely stop by and take a look. read more

Absolutely beautiful artwork. Many variations of island style life. Very friendly staff.

The price of the artwork varies. The artists are varied in skill. All the artwork caters to the Hawaiian genera. It is a bit cloying, but there are some that are not so down your throat aloha vibe. The service is so-so. They are attentive, but I feel like they are a bit slow. While buying an item, one of the workers slowed the process down by speaking with the woman who was ringing us up about something not related. Overall, if you want local artists and what to support a small business, it is fine. They have varied media and artists as well as prices. I want to say one of a kind cards are 15 each ( the cheapest thing I saw), and many paintings run up to about 1,500. Be careful of the prints. Many are not limited. If they are, they will be marked like they should be. read more

Sunshine Art is a beautiful gallery with works by many local artists on display. The staff are very friendly. Kyle framed my paintings at the shop. His workmanship is superb, and he was very accommodating. I am glad I found this art gallery. read more

Laetitia is just phenomenal. We have been colon here since 2019 and each time discover artists with love due to her care along with vetting of who is in the space. Laetitia is also beyond kind and so knowledgeable. The last time we were in we had a question about specific labelings of pieces & she educated us in detail versus just brushing off. I feel like the variety of artists & types of art are always such a great way to find exactly the piece that can either say this is super Aloha Hawaii or this is very authentically unique vision of Hawaii. Worth every penny we ever spend here. read more

I bought two pieces of art and they shipped fast and well packed. They have quite the selection of different types of art from local artists. read more

The best place I have found for framing! They may not have metal frames but that's okay with me. Leatisia works magic and has an eye for space, design and size. I have recommended several people and they have not been disappointed! read more

An excellent oasis of art located north of Kaneohe. This museum gallery hosts a wide variety of genres and methods, all of which are inspiring based on your personal taste. All the featured artists are local and I've found coming here is a nice way to de-stress. The manager Ms Atlantis, does an impeccable job at rotating the pieces so there is always something new to discover. I've found not only inspiration but also ways to fix my own painting errors, especially with regard to composition, light/shadow, and visual movement. Highly recommended for anyone who seeks a quick break from the day to day rush and a place to visually unwind. Mahalo nui loa for reading my review. read more

What a great establishment. Amazing prices and greater customer service. I came in looking to get an estimate on framing two burlap sacks, not only was the pricing way lower than other competitors it was framed within 24 hours. I told Jim, the owner, that this was going to be my husbands valentine gift, when they were ready for pick up he left a discreet voicemail that my two friends were ready. He also played with the back off the burlap's and framed them incase I liked it. Which I loved! I'll definitely be back to frame a few more pieces. Thank you so much! read more

I came in a couple of months ago with a print that had a broken frame. The staff were super helpful in finding a replacement and accommodating a rush turnaround. It was a bit pricey, but the right price for the craftsmanship, service, and turnaround. read more

My wife and I stopped by this place to see what they offered. We enjoyed seeing the art from local artist available for purchase. Lots of art to choose from across a range of pricing. I saw a print that caught my eye. We bought the print and then discovered that they do framing. We had the frame it and we pleasantly surprised with how reasonable the price was for their service. We definitely plan to visit them again! read more

Sunshine Arts Gallery - Framed print - Art Galleries Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

This is a wonderful place and we are so fortunate to have found it. The manager, Ms Atlantis, was fantastic, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. She was a great advocate for the artists and cultivated a comfortable experience. We fell in love with a few pieces (from Ed Furuike and Richard Robinson) and are so happy. Shipping was perfect and done with great care. We cherish them even more each day. If you are on the windward side you should definitely stop by. Beautiful place. Well done. read more

I am a local, Native Hawaiian artist, and recently made the trip to this gallery to get some matting and framing for my own work. I called in advance, spoke to the owner, and explained what I needed. In the past, they had a couple of guys that just cut bulk mats for artists, and although they no longer are there, the owner said he could handle my order of around 30 mats. I asked if I could come in the next day, and he said sure, he's there from 10am. I showed up a little before 11 with pieces in tow (he didn't want measurements, he wanted to see physical pieces). I was excited, and brought a number of additional oils and prints, thinking maybe I could have them help with some custom framing as well. It represented easily over $2000. I was planning on spending at least $500 on framing of one piece. When I arrived, the owner said he remembered our conversation. I told him I was inspired and brought a bunch more to see what he could do. He chastised me saying, you told me only 30, and you've come at a really bad time. He started pointing at people in the gallery saying "she needs framing, I have a meeting with her right now, and another client coming in right away ". I said , OK, I'll come another day. He said, "no no, I'll figure it out". So another woman "took care" of me. I started pulling out pieces, and was chastised again for cluttering up their table. From there it was just a continuous condescension. Talking to me like I was a total amateur, leaving me to take care of other customers, was insulting and time consuming, and not wanting the Hawaiian titles of the pieces was disappointing, insulting, but not surprising. Going against my gut, I decided to move forward with only 7 images that required duplicate mats, 4-5 identical mats in each size. I said, clearly you're too busy to handle the rest, and she agreed. I chose my mat color and asked if I should have a backup choice in case they ran out. She said, oh no, we have enough. I paid them the total amount, over $300. They called 2 days later to say they didn't have that color. A sign for sure! Ok, that happens, but they clearly didn't see me as a valued client from the minute I walked in. Sorry I brought more business than they wanted? Then politely tell me they can't handle the order. This wasn't my first visit to this gallery, and I had time to see the art on the walls while I was waiting for service. If any native hawaiian artists were represented, I didn't see them. Just more of the same, landscapes, hula dancers, surfing, and Native people depicted as caricatures, what they, their website and their clients call "Hawaiian art". This gallery just won an award for one of America's best galleries and is contributing to the continuing objectification of Hawaiian people and culture. I returned today, retrieved my pieces, and got a refund. My guess is they don't care that I'm taking my business elsewhere, and I look forward to finding a culturally aware and polite company to work with in the future. Malama pono. read more

Customer service unlike any other. A vast selection of artist works embedded in island representation. From large scale original paintings to small giclée and tiles. A gallery at the foothills of paradise - worth the peruse. read more

I just love this cute little local Gallery! Located in Kahaluu, you can't miss the bright yellow building on the right side with the water mural on the wall. They cater to local artists like Tim Ngyuen, Holly Kitara, Peggy Chun and more. They carry from Original paintings to prints to Koa bowls to stationery to jewelry. I get all my artwork here, and their prices are reasonable. Leticia the manager is very friendly too. They frame as well. If you are passing through this part of town, you must stop by, you may find a hidden treasure to bring home! read more

It'd be really easy to pass this place right by or, upon entry, dismiss it as a whole lot of beautiful images of Hawaii. It's true, there are lots of images of Hawaii (photos, watercolors, oils, acrylics) but spend some time wandering the 3,500 square foot space with art from 60+ island artists and you'll find some gems, not just amongst the traditional imagery. Even among the less traditional imagery pieces stand out because they're unique and well-executed artwork, and not just because they're different than the majority of pieces. I really enjoyed the: * turned wood bowls made from a wide variety of trees. Each bowl identified the type of tree from which it was created and the differences were fascinating. My personal favorite were the ones made from Norfolk Island Pine. * Film photographs (not digital) of old Hawaii. There's a great assortment of black and white images for sale, enabling you to enjoy what Hawaii looked like before it became what we see today. Buildings, roads, animals, people, sports: everything old-Hawaii is well represented by these film images. * Original oils and reproductions of work by artist Avi Kiriarty whose designs have graced many Kahala brand Aloha shirts. His original imagery is so much more than what's printed on Kahala textiles. There are some seriously fine pieces of Avi's work here. I also enjoyed reading the self-created bios of all the artists, and learning the paths which led them here. Not every artist has created a bio but look for them and you'll be rewarded with some interesting tales. Through the business web site you can also view and purchase original artwork and reproductions in case you've not yet made plans to visit. read more

This is an amazing place! There is such a wide variety of local art by local artists displayed in this spacious gallery filled with aloha. We needed some art reproduced, matted and framed. Laeticia was so helpful and the proces was so smooth, pleasant and quick! She referred us out for the art reproduction and when the time came to assemble, she did a beautiful job and even gave us some supplies to help with the rest of our art. All this at a price that was so affordable! We will be back! read more

I've had several art projects I've done framed here. You guys do an great job with the framing and helping me choose the right color matting and the perfect frame for each art project I've brought in. I've been very pleased with each one! I can't wait to finish my next project and bring it in to see what you'll do next!! read more

So glad we discovered this art gallery. So many art galleries on Oahu were awesome but this was the best and most welcoming with a true devotion to local artists. Jim and Latetia were amazing. We bought an Ed Furuike painting and a Jeff Andrade painting here and just received them by FedEx a few days ago. It packaged perfectly. Also, I bought my wife some dragonfly earrings for a 3-month anniversary present which she totally loved. Thank you for helping us bring some Aloha home to help us remember our honeymoon! read more

It would be easy to drive right by this hidden treasure on your way up the Windward Side. But that would be a shame. Tucked away just past the Hygenic Store in Kahaluu, is a bright yellow building with some excellent Art. A variety of Local artists are represented and when you get inside it is easy to forget you're out in the "country" not down in Waikiki. From Paintings to Jewelry the place is full of Art. And they do a great job Framing also. If you like visiting Art Galleries you are missing out if you do not stop by here and check it out. read more

I was at Sunshine Gallery this morning prepared to spend $400 on a birthday gift. There was only one employee present; he was helping a woman select matting. I patiently waited my turn. Shortly, another customer and his son walked in. The proprietor came down stairs, greeted me, walked past and proceeded to wait on the other customer. (What ever happened to, "May I help you?"?) More customers came in. The man doing matting looked up at me and called out, "I'll be right with you." When he was finished, he walked past me and waited on the couple that came in after me. I couldn't believe it. I waited a moment, then left, calling out, "Goodbye." I don't think they heard me. NO SALE! read more

There is definitely more than meets the eyes. I'm sure you've passed it a million times before like I did. Always told myself "next time" but never did. This is mostly because when I drive along this stretch of Kamehameha Hwy, I am doing my "around the island" drive to my favorite shrimp truck, beach/surf, corn, bakery, and shaved ice stops. Like I said, I pass by Sunshine Arts each and every time. I always notice it but never stopped by. Today, not making my usual "around the island" drive, I specifically drove here to personally deliver a check and say "thank you". Why did I make this trip all the way from town? Because of their service. Before today, I've only done business with Sunshine over the phone. They delivered our orders so I've never had to go there. However, with this last job, although small, Jim was very helpful and got me exactly what I needed in a very timely manner. I told him I "owed" him one and I promised to drop off a "cold pack". With check and a "cold pack" in hand, I drove to Kahaluu to make my delivery. He was not there but the trip was well worth it. I finally got to see inside. Yes, they are an art gallery that showcases 50+ local artists with so many different mediums. The newest one I just learned about was photography printed on Aluminum. But it does not end there. They have your "Hawaiian" decorative items and various jewelry and so many great gift items. They sell Koa frames at very reasonable prices (beats your town frame shops for sure) and do custom frames as well. The selections are extensive. If you have your own artwork you want to get matted, they do that too. The gallery is a lot larger than it looks from the outside.......I'm very impressed and feel that more "locals" should discover this gem in Kahaluu. I'm recommending anyone who wants local art works or wanting to get something framed to go here. They will not regret it! read more

Love this place. I met the love of my life at this place. Just some random chance of love. The art work of local Hawaii artist are all wonderful as well. Definitely will visit over and over again. I also had a frame made and it came out beautifully. read more

Left this gallery with perfect pictures for my mother but an awful experience with the sales associate. I pulled out my credit card while she was writing up the slip, while making a comment about me being in a hurry which I was not. She goes on to swipe my card instead of using the chip so it didn't go thru. She then asked for my ID and suspiciously asked if I had another ID because I changed my hair color, my hair color is the EXACT same color as in photo. My id and credit card names both match, that should be enough. First time I've ever been treated so poorly, the entire exchange was extremely rude and uncalled for. great art but I will never go back. read more

Sunshine Arts is a wonderful art store with reasonable prices. You can see it on your way to China Man's Hat from Kaneohe. It's the building with the giant China Man's Hat painting on its side. When I walked in, I was immediately helped. I had just shopped all over North Shore for a China Man's Hat original panting for a gift but only got the run around. Not at Sunshine Arts! They showed me all of their original artworks and I managed to find the perfect one. Plus, to my surprise, the frames are included in the price and she even gift wrapped it for me. Thanks Sunshine Arts. I just know my fiancé will love her new painting. read more

FANTASTICO! Love this place. Love Leticia and the framing heros. Great selection of art in addition to the best prices on frames on Oahu. GO. Enjoy. Buy! I do and love it :) read more

This is one-stop-shopping in heaven....A knowledgeable, creative staff assists you in beginning or adding to your art collection. The local artist representation is extensive and colorful. Koa framing, perfection....Mailing service to mainland makes it even easier for those of us who aren't permanently living in Sunshine Arts vicinity. But when you get home and want more...a user friendly website for items you have decided you can't live without after all, awaits. Kamaka is right, about Laetitia. She knows her stuff (beautiful jewelry) and much, much more. She has every piece in the gallery memorized, you can describe what you want, are thinking about, or your colors and she will take you to some options that will have your creative mind spinning & resting at the same time. A true artist, perfectionist and a trustworthy art aficionado. read more

We have used Sunshine Arts several times for custom framing. Great service, fast turnaround time and good prices. Also ready made frames there. We are satisfied customers! Mahalo Jim, Kyle and Malinda read more

Finally stopped in to Sunshine arts today to check out the studio! I was very impressed by the variety of art works, from glassworks, wood crafts, to prints and original paintings, all done by Hawaiian artists. Prices are very reasonable, and they will frame the prints right there and then for fantastic prices! I picked up a few prints, from 3 different artists and 3 beautifully painted tiles, and had each print framed and ready within a half hour for just over $300! Great service and very friendly saleswoman. read more

Absolutely amazing art gallery and service!! I was in a bind, needing to get a custom size frame and mat for a last minute going away gift. I went to all the standard places, Pictures Plus, Ben Franklin...none were willing to work with me. I drove out here from Wahiawa, was immediately greeted and brought back to the framing area. Jim was an absolute life saver!!! Custom mat, frame and glass in less than an hour! I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Really beautiful art, all local artists. Reasonable prices, with a great range from unique little gifts to amazing original paintings. So much better than touristy galleries and worth the drive from town (which is very scenic along the coast) or as a fun stop along the way if you want to take the coast drive up to the North Shore. The owner obviously has great taste and is very helpful too! read more

As a local realtor looking for items for staging high end houses, I went in with a large budget to spend. Unfortunately the staff followed me around the whole time like I was going to steal stuff and it immediately turned me off. I left without spending many of my budget because I was followed around and watched, making me very uncomfortable. When I asked to use the restroom I was very rudely told that there is no public restroom. Who has a business with no public restroom for their customers? Staff needs quit treating customers like they are thieves. Rude! read more

Just outside Kaneohe heading North on 83 this gallery hosts over 75 artists with an often changing selection of works. A very nice place to stop for a larger variety of local artist's choices. Easy parking on the side of building. read more

Wonderful gem of a local art gallery and gift shop. I've driven by here for years and never stopped, but now wishing I had. Run by lovely people and 100% local art sold. I hear they do a great job of framing too. Definitely check it out! read more

I shopped here last May. I thought they had a wonderful selection of island art at okay prices. I recommend going there to buy aloha artwork. read more

So happy we happened upon Sunshine Art Studio during our stay on Oahu! Local Art is awesome! We had 2 pieces of Art shipped home. And another shipped to a friend. We had to have a frame changed on one and another picture framed. Beautiful job! We recieved them yesterday via Fed Ex. All were packaged perfectly! Customer service was in the true Hawaiian style of friendly and gracious! Thank you so much Latetia! read more

We are art gallery junkies & visit them frequently when traveling. This little gem is bright yellow and set against the windward side of Oahu on Kamehameha Highway. Selection was top notch in that there was both 2-d and 3-d artwork including acrylics, lithos, fused glass and woodworking from dozens and dozens of artists. I am an amateur fused glass artist and thought the artwork by glass artisans was particularly well cast, colorful & bubble free. Although we were the only patrons on a cloudy Sunday the frame shop in the back seemed busy which is always a good sign for a small gallery. Prices were not modest but they weren't outrageous either. This is Hawaii and it's never cheap. Of particular note we purhcased artwork by an artist named Patrice Ann Federspiel who paints whimsical mermaids, turtles, dolphins all the jewel tones and with aloha. My daughter loved her work so we bought early Christmas presents. One piece entitled, "Swimming with Friends" is enchanting with a ginger-haired dolphin swimming between two sea turtles. $30 for the smallest one which is roughly 5 by 7 inches with a white matte frame. I highly recommend this little gallery for those wishing a colorful respite from the throngs of tourists! read more

This is the best art gallery I've been to on Oahu. I passed by this building for years before finally stopping by. Was I ever surprised! This gallery features the work of many talented local artists, and offers a nice variety of styles, sizes, and prices. The atmosphere is classy, yet relaxing, with no pushy sales person pestering you while you browse. They also offer custom framing and mats. I've ordered mats from them a few times, and have always been pleased with the customer service and prices. read more
