About ArtWeek Aruba
Welcome to ArtWeek Aruba, the island’s premier celebration of creativity, innovation, and artistic expression. Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, Aruba is not just known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, but also for its vibrant arts scene. And at the center of this artistic renaissance is ArtWeek Aruba.
Our Origin
ArtWeek Aruba traces its roots back to the inception of the Aruba Art Fair and Art Fashion, both of which are celebrating their 6th year in 2023. These events, initially the highlights of Aruba’s art calendar, were the brainchild of ArtisA. Under the dynamic leadership of Tito Bolivar, a multi-faceted social entrepreneur and the director of ArtisA, the event evolved over the years. Recognizing the plethora of art-related activities he was organizing throughout the week, Tito decided in 2022 to consolidate these diverse initiatives under one umbrella, giving birth to ArtWeek Aruba.
Our Mission
At ArtWeek Aruba, our mission is to celebrate art in all its forms. We aim to provide a stage for artists to shine and for the community to engage with their works. We believe that art has the power to inspire, challenge, and transform, and through ArtWeek Aruba, we hope to ignite that spark in every visitor.
