Hawaii is replete with arts and cultural attractions that have strong ties to the community. The most prominent draw a large share of the visitor industry, but many lesser known or overlooked places have just as much to offer. Whether it is the architectural legacy of a famous Hawaii resident, an ancient Hawaiian temple, the alternative gallery scene or a revitalized arts town, there are as many ways to connect to the arts and culture of Hawaii as there are cultures and art forms to absorb.
