"My deepest sympathies and support for our artists, staff and their families. Nothing else matters."

Dear Valued Collectors and Friends,
As you may have heard, our cherished gallery on Front Street in Lahaina, was destroyed by the Maui wildfires.
Our team is safe, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to art, creativity, and the enduring spirit of our community. Our gallery wasn't just a space; it was a haven for creative minds and a reflection of the beauty that Maui exudes.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout the years. Your patronage has been the driving force behind our gallery's success, and together, we will emerge from this chapter stronger and more united.
While the road ahead may be extremely challenging, we're confident that the artistic spirit will shine even brighter, illuminating the path towards a hopeful future.
Thank you in advance for your donations and support to our artists, staff and community.
With gratitude and hope,
The Bill Wyland Galleries Team
