The mission of Hui No`eau is to unlock creativity through exceptional visual art education.
Kaluanui, home of Hui No'eau is a beautiful, spacious 1917 plantation mansion and estate. Designed by noted architect C.W. Dickey, it was the home of Maui's first family in the pineapple industry, Harry and Ethel Baldwin. Community and societal leader, Ethel Baldwin, founded the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Society in 1934. Her accomplishments attracted artists worldwide to create a wide interest in the arts.
The landscaping combines local flora with European design concepts. Two of Maui's largest hybrid Cook and Norfolk Island pine trees can be found near the house and the remains of one on Maui's earliest sugar mills are located at the entrance to the ten-acre estate. Run by mule power, it was the first sugar mill in Hawaii to use centrifugal force for separating sugar crystals.
