If your question is not answered here, ask us directly. Art is personal; the process can be too.

How do I purchase a work?
Works that are appropriate for direct online purchase can be acquired through the artwork page and checkout. Originals, major sculpture, commissions or pieces requiring additional coordination may instead invite you to request details or begin a conversation with MFAC.

Do I need to be an experienced collector?
No. MFAC works with people making a first art purchase and people adding to established collections. You do not need specialized vocabulary to begin. Tell us what is holding your attention and we can start there.

Can MFAC help me choose?
Yes. Share the works you are considering, a photograph of your space, approximate dimensions, a place or artist that matters to you, or simply a sense of what you are drawn toward. We can prepare a focused selection rather than asking you to sort through everything alone.

Can I see work in person?
Some work can be seen in person on Maui. Because artwork moves and availability changes, write MFAC before visiting if there is a specific piece you want to see. Write info@livingmomentsmedia.com. Or call 808-866-8303.

Are works authenticated?
MFAC works directly with participating artists. Original works and editions should be documented according to the artist's normal practice, including signatures, edition numbering and certificates where applicable. The individual artwork page will explain what accompanies that piece.

What is the difference between an original and an edition?
An original is a one-of-one artwork. An edition is a work intentionally produced in more than one authorized example. Edition size and presentation vary by artist and work and are always disclosed on the artwork page.

What is an open edition?
An open edition is authorized by the artist but is not restricted to a predetermined lifetime quantity. It provides a more accessible way to collect certain photographic or printed works.

What is a limited edition?
A limited edition has a defined maximum number of authorized examples. Once that edition is complete, no additional examples should be produced in the same edition configuration.

Can I preview a piece in my room?
Yes. Send MFAC a straight-on photograph of the wall and approximate dimensions. Where practical, we can create a scale visualization so you can compare sizes and placement before ordering.

Can sizes be customized?
Sometimes. Photography and certain editioned works may allow additional sizes or presentation formats, while originals and many artist-specific works do not. Ask us about the particular piece rather than assuming every work can be changed.

Do you provide framing or presentation guidance?
Yes. Presentation is part of the finished artwork experience. Available options vary by medium and artist, and MFAC can help coordinate framing, photographic finishes and installation considerations where appropriate.

Do you ship outside Maui?
Yes. MFAC serves collectors beyond Maui and can coordinate shipping for eligible works. Delivery method, insurance, crating and timing vary significantly by artwork, size and destination. Write us about the specific piece.

Do you coordinate installation?
For larger or more complex works, MFAC can help discuss installation requirements and coordinate appropriate resources when available. Site-specific installation services vary by destination.

Can I commission an MFAC artist?
Some MFAC artists accept commissions. Begin by telling us what you are considering. We will help determine whether a particular artist's practice is a natural fit and whether that artist is currently accepting commissioned work. Not every artist takes commissions.

How long does a commission take?
There is no universal timeline. Scale, material, complexity and the artist's schedule all matter. Timing and milestones are agreed upon before the commission begins.

Do you work with interior designers and architects?
Yes. MFAC can provide artwork sourcing, focused project selections, dimensions and specifications, digital placement studies, commissions and coordination around presentation, delivery and installation.

Do you offer trade pricing?
Write MFAC with your project information. We will say what is actually possible for that artist, work and project.

Can MFAC support an entire hospitality or commercial project?
Yes, when the project and artist roster are an appropriate fit. We can help source across multiple artists, coordinate commissions and support larger presentation and installation requirements.

How does MFAC select artists?
MFAC considers artistic point of view, quality of practice, Maui connection, professionalism, contribution to the overall roster and whether the artist is ready to participate in a collector-facing platform.

Must artists live on Maui?
MFAC is built around artists living and working on Maui. Write us if you have a question about membership.

How can an artist be considered?
Visit For Artists and begin a conversation. MFAC reviews artists intentionally rather than onboarding automatically.
