Ethel and Harry Baldwin's daughter Frances, married
the late J. Walter Cameron, founder of Maui Land & Pineapple Co. When
the family stopped using Kaluanui as a home in the 50's, the estate became
the property of Maui Land & Pineapple. In 1976, Ethel Baldwin's grandson,
the late Colin Cameron, former President of Maui Land & Pineapple,
granted Hui No'eau the use of Kaluanui as a Visual Arts Center.
The stucco house at the end of a tree-lined driveway
off Baldwin Avenue serves many purposes, offering space for classes, lectures,
exhibits; a studio for visiting artists; a photography, printing and drawing
studio; a gift shop and administrative offices. Also located on the property
are the picturesque stables and tack rooms which now serve as the ceramics
studio and a large garage for printmaking, papermaking, woodworking
and jewelry activities. Under the able leadership of John C. Baldwin,
the Hui has undergone extensive historic restoration and repair. Future
expansion will provide adequate classrooms and new studios for a growing
community.
