The public is invited to the opening of the Punahou Carnival Art Gallery, the largest art show in the state. Featuring more than 1,000 artworks by nearly 300 Hawai‘i artists, the gallery includes paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and glass.
This special preview for art enthusiasts will be held Tuesday, Feb. 4, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Bishop Learning Center, Punahou School. This preview precedes the main Punahou Carnival, offering an exclusive first look at the collection. The gallery reopens during the Carnival, from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, and from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m on Saturday, Feb. 8.
The Art Gallery is a highlight of the Punahou Carnival. Planned by the Junior Class of 2026, this year’s Carnival theme is “Pā‘ina Paniolo: A Country Carnival,” adding an old Hawai‘i vibe to the event. Sales from each art piece will support Punahou Carnival’s fundraising efforts for student financial aid, with proceeds evenly shared between the artists and Punahou.
