Visitors to Aruba are greeted by local art at the first moment they arrive on island when they walk through the arrivals hall at Queen Reina Beatrix International Airport and again at the airport's distinctive sculpture garden as they depart.

During their stay, they will notice expressions of visual arts such as sculptures, paintings and installations in public spaces, gardens, banks, schools and office buildings. A recent sculpture honouring Aruba's lost fishermen can be found opposite the Governor's house along the Linear Park in Oranjestad.

Resorts such as La Cabana Beach Resort and Aruba Marriott Resort display selected artworks in their lobbies. Restaurants such as Gasparito cover their walls with works of local artists, for diners to appreciate and purchase.

Aruban artists have been evolving for more than 50 years, often studying abroad and returning to teach and create. Their works range from folkloric to abstract, using media from traditional painting to the latest audio-visual arts. Many participate in group exhibitions abroad.

Some artists have their own ateliers that are open to visitors. Do pay a visit to Unoca, the island's national gallery, during your stay.

After visiting the Aruba art galleries, we can guarantee that you will have gained more of an in depth understanding of Aruban culture and the intense passion of our artists. Art galleries in Aruba are more than just stores or exhibition halls; they contain a slice of Aruban history.
