Virtual Sketchbook: Donkey Mill Art Center, Holualoa, Hawaii Island
Hawaii Island’s Donkey Mill Art Center, located in the charming hillside town of Holualoa just a few miles above Kailua-Kona Village, is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing art education and experiences to people of all ages and abilities from keiki (children) to Kupuna (seniors).
