2 Best Performing Arts Venues in San Nicolas, Aruba

Organized by ArtisA, this annual event takes place each fall when artists from around the world are invited to collaborate on outdoor installations, sculptures, murals, and more throughout San Nicolas. Immersive and interactive events include workshops with the artists; the Youth Art Fair, which showcases the island’s young aspiring creators; and the ArtFashion show, which features stunning works of local designers. There are also special events like pop-up restaurants, culinary art competitions, and lots of music and dancing turning downtown into one big festive street party. The work left behind from past years has turned the downtown core into a magical maze of outdoor art and will continue to do so for years to come.

After nearly three decades, locals are delighted to have a modern cinema in San Nicolas again. The air-conditioned theater is state-of-the-art with large screens, VIP seats, and a modern concession stand. It’s an ideal place to catch a flick before or after an afternoon at Baby Beach or the art walk.
