In order to promote and stimulate local art and entrepreneurship in this sector, the Chamber yearly organizes an art exhibition, where we give a local artist the opportunity to exhibit his artwork in our reception area. The art will remain for 1 year on the wall in the reception area of the Chamber and after that we give the chance to another artist. For the exhibition we organize a ‘launch evening’ where we invite our customers, the press and other interested parties to engage with the artist, view and, if interested, purchase a piece of art during this evening. This usually takes place in the beginning of November of each year.
The artist must send a price list and business cards and people who are interested in buying a painting should contact the artist directly. Please pass by the Chamber from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to view the galleries of the current local artist. For more information and interest in exhibiting your art at the Chamber, please contact Business Information & Support at telephone: +297-5821566, ext. 327/330/342.
‘The Awakening of Art Through a Dream’
presenting the current art creations of Mrs. Sandra Garcia
Biography
In July 2011, a vision changed the course of her life. In a dream, she found herself listening to and seeing a galaxy. The intensity of the experience was such that, upon waking, she couldn’t describe in words what she had witnessed. Guided by an inner calling, she took her daughter’s children’s paintbrushes and painted the shadow and light of that galaxy on a piece of wood.
That spontaneous act marked the beginning of a deep calling. Since then, she felt an urgency to seek out canvases, paints, and professional brushes. She began painting with passion, starting her journey with murals that can now be found in various corners of Aruba: shopping centers, schools, homes, baby rooms, and wedding spaces. Over time, she came to understand that some dreams are meant to be brought into reality, while others simply convey messages from the soul. Her art is born from that dreamlike wisdom, and each piece is an extension of a message that goes beyond the visible.
The exhibit features artwork by Mrs. Sandra Garcia. The art exhibit opened on June 20 and will remain in the Chamber of Commerce until October 2026.
