The story

Aruba ArtWeek in San Nicolas

Aruba ArtWeek is the week-long umbrella program surrounding San Nicolas's art scene, organized by ArtisA and the Pure Aruba Events Foundation, running alongside the three-day Aruba Art Fair. It includes the ARTTABLE panel discussion, a guided Sunday Mural Tour led by Tito Bolivar, and an ArtWeek Pass granting access to multiple venues and artist studios.

Aruba ArtWeek stretches the island's art season across several days of talks, studio visits, and guided walks through San Nicolas, wrapping around the three-day Aruba Art Fair without simply duplicating it.

02

The mystery stays covered

ARTTABLE offers a rarer, quieter counterpart: an evening panel where artists and curators discuss the thinking behind the year's work in front of a small audience

03

The city starts moving
