“This co-op consisted of 20+ artist all sharing different styles, while most motifs focused on island life others styles were there. We initially visited for the glass blowing, but that was closed. The gallery was filled with a lot of art and the prices were quite reasonable. The prices seemed similar in pricing to mass production however most of it was original.”
“What you’ll get from Patrick Rankin is raw authenticity. He’s lived on the island d for over 30 years and actively making art during this time. His galley offers a range of artwork showcasing his talent from local foliage and waterfall paintings to the American west landscapes. He is open, authentic and worth stopping in because just meeting him is worth the time. I think he is well loved by those that know him.”
“Just an amazing assortment of hand made bowls, all crafted by the local artist. They even ship to the mainland. My son & his girlfriend were so happy to receive the gift. Truly a piece of art that can be handed down to to the next generation to enjoy.”

“Most people go to Hawi on the Kohala Coast to visit the art stores, but the Ackerman Galleries are just a short two miles further down the road in Kapa'au. The art and gifts are far superior than anything in Hawi. So go on and drive to Kapa'au and you'll find the store across the street from the original statue of King Kamehameha I. That's another reason to visit and they have plenty of parking. Also there's a great little restaurant right next door.”
“My husband and I are relatively new art collectors, and Tiffany made us feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment we walked into her beautiful gallery. She creates a warm and inviting environment that matches her personality.We have purchased two commissioned art pieces and some ceramics through Tiffany's Art Agency, all from local artists we discovered at her gallery. We couldn't have been happier with the whole process - from the ease of communication in discussing the commissioned pieces, to the delivery, in which a custom-fitted box was made to protect the artwork during shipping.Tiffany's Art Agency isn't just a place to buy art. It's a unique, personalized experience where you get to talk story with the gallery owner in a relaxed, non-intimidating space. Every time I stop in, I feel inspired, invigorated, and excited. It is a true gem on the Big Island.”
