The East Hawaiʻi Cultural Center is a nonprofit arts center in historic downtown Hilo, across from Kalākaua Park and a short walk from the bayfront. The building was once the Hilo Police Station and County Courthouse, and it now holds art exhibits, performances, and classes and workshops for all ages. Visiting is free, and donations are welcome. The center keeps short opening hours on a few days a week, and the gallery closes between exhibitions while the next one is installed, so check its hours before you go. Youth Arts Saturdays are held on the second Saturday of each month.
