Art For Maui
In the wake of the recent Maui fires, artists around the world began using their art to support Maui disaster relief organizations. Art for Maui is a way for artists to come together to participate in this effort. 100% of profits from print sales will benefit Maui disaster relief.
The mission of Art for Maui goes beyond fundraising. Artists have been inspired by the beauty, history, and culture of Maui for generations. It is our hope that, by collecting and sharing Maui-inspired art, we can help to honor and preserve the memory of what was lost.
