Welcome to One Gallery, a vibrant and uniquely collaborative space in the heart of Hilo, Hawaii. What sets us apart is our commitment to being a collectively run gallery, where our community of artists is not just showcased but actively involved in the daily life of the gallery. When you visit, you're likely to meet one or two of our talented artists as we encourage them to gallery sit, engage in live art, and immerse themselves in the gallery experience.
Our gallery proudly represents over one hundred artists, each residing and working on the Big Island. This thriving community is dedicated to supporting one another and fostering a rich artistic environment. Our goal is to create a space where creativity flourishes and local talent is celebrated.
Recently, the stewardship of One Gallery has been embraced by Aspen Dewey, an oil painter deeply rooted in the community. Aspen's journey into the art world began in 2020, and since then, she and her partner have been instrumental in bringing new life to the gallery. You’ll often find them at all hours in downtown Hilo, perfecting the paint on the walls, strategizing with fellow artists, or exploring innovative ways to bring local art to life.
One Gallery is more than just a place to view art; it's a labor of love, built with and for artists. We invite you to stop by and experience firsthand the spirit and creativity that define our community. Discover what makes One Gallery a truly special place and see how our artists are shaping the artistic landscape of Hilo.
