Hawaiʻi's Woodshow 2026 - Na Lā’au o Hawai’i

Discover the artistry, beauty, and soul of Hawaiʻi’s Woodshow — where master craftsmen transform island-grown woods into breathtaking works of art. From bold contemporary pieces to timeless traditional craftsmanship, this celebrated exhibition brings together Hawaiʻi’s finest wood artists for a vibrant showcase of creativity, culture, and aloha.

The 2026 Hawaiʻi’s Woodshow™ marks the 34th anniversary of Hawai‘i’s premier woodworking exhibition, presented by the Hawai‘i Forest Association (HFA). This annual showcase celebrates masterful craftsmanship, innovative design, and the unparalleled beauty of furniture and fine woodworking created from Hawaiian-grown woods.

An exciting component of Hawaiʻi’s Woodshow is the Innovation + Imagination (I+I) Student Challenge, a division that was initiated in 2017 to introduce students to the diverse world of Hawai‘i woods. Students are challenged to construct artwork using a mixture of donated Hawai‘i-grown wood and other materials of their choice.

The Student Challenge is coordinated by Steven Hill, IDSA, the 3DLab Director at University of Hawai’i-Mānoa School of Architecture. The program exposes students to a hands-on experience of design and production as well as familiarizes them with the value of using locally sourced resources. Schools that have participated in the student challenge include University of Hawai’i-Mānoa School of Architecture, Brigham Young University–Hawaii, Mid Pacific Institute, Maui and Kalani High Schools, Mid-Pacific Owl Robotics, Olomana School, Waiakea High School, and Punahou School.
