Arts & Crafts

There are a few foundations and organizations that support local artists and craftspeople. Your group can arrange private shopping experiences and pop-up markets featuring a wide scope of locally-made products through these organizations.

Cosecha

This organization promotes locally made arts and crafts officially certified as 100% made in Aruba by the national seal of craftsmanship, Seyo Nacional pa Artesania (SEYO), established by the government of Aruba through the Department of Culture.

Special gifting and shopping nights, as well as pre-ordered arts and crafts customized for your group can be arranged with advance notice.

Terrafuse

In 2008, husband-and-wife duo, Ciro and Marian Abath, launched Terrafuse, a non-profit organization that promotes glass art, ceramic art, and other art forms on Aruba. Terrafuse is located at Ciro and Marian’s property along the road to Alto Vista. Behind their quaint cunucu house are their studios, situated among a cozy garden where a flock of beautiful wild chickens have taken up residence. Ciro and Marian appreciate the special spot they have created and enjoy sharing it with the community, which is encouraged to participate in glassblowing, bead making, and ceramics workshops on the grounds. If you don’t want to attend a workshop to make your own special piece of art, you can purchase their products at Cosecha. For more information, visit the website at www.terrafusearuba.com.
