2 Best Sights in Aruba

Opened in 2025 by Tito Bolivar, founder of the Aruba Art Fair and Artista gallery, SPACE21.art gives local artists and craftspeople a vibrant modern space to showcase their wares. In a sleek, whitewashed space, you’ll find a revolving choice of unique handcrafted jewelry and colorful bags, hand-painted fashions, modern art pieces, classic oil paintings, driftwood art, and more, all created by a collective of over 50 artists and managed by notable driftwood artist Alejandra Vallejo, Bolivar’s talented wife. It also has a cool little lounge for elegant sips, snacks, and socializing.

This large, beautifully restored cunucu house offers daily glassblowing exhibitions by a master artisan from the island of Murano, Italy, famous for its glass art. Also on the property is a large bar--restaurant with a very interesting and eclectic choice of international fare. It’s an odd combination but it really works, and it’s become a popular stop for groups doing island tours. Watch free daily glassblowing presentations between 10 am and 1 pm, and shop for original souvenirs on-site; you can also book a workshop to make your own glass art souvenir.
