PARADISE STUDIO TOUR 2023

December 2 & 3, 10am-4pm

The Paradise Studio Tour Artist Collective showcases artists and their studios within Hawaiian Paradise Park in Keaau, on the east side of the Island of Hawaii. This year will be our 17th annual event! Guest artists from outside the area are welcome to apply as well, and if accepted, will be placed in a host studio or at the HPP Hui Community Center site for our event. Our studio tour is a juried event, and to insure the most successful event possible for our artists and visitors, we select a limited number of both artists as well as studio sites.

PARADISE STUDIO TOUR 2023 FEES

The nonrefundable participating artist fee for 2023 was $100; This could change for 2024.

All artists agree to donate 10% of sales, which will be donated to the art programs of the local public secondary schools in the Puna area to purchase needed art supplies. We are so proud of our artists who have given more than $25,000 over the last 16 years of our event.
