Once upon a time another business owner believed in me, and I was handed keys to 168 Keawe St. Suite D. Downtown Hilo. The grand opening was First Friday September 2015.
Now the gallery has relocated to
760 Kilauea Ave Hilo HI 96720, next to Hilo Burger Joint.

To date, The Exhibit Gallery has supported 170 artists & 120 First Fridays!
