Art Exhibition
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. 27/30/42.
‘Colors in my Mind’
presenting the interesting story & creations of ‘Paul Wong’
Mr. Paul Wong in conjunction with the Aruba Chamber of Commerce have the immense pleasure to open this ART exhibit titled ‘Colors in my Mind’.
The exhibit features artwork by Mr. Paul Wong. The art exhibit will open on the 10 of November and will remain in the Chamber of Commerce until October 2024.
During this time the artwork will be alternated with new, fresh artwork by Mr. Paul Wong. Thus, there will always be exciting new artwork to see.
Paul Wong was born in 1971 in Aruba, discovered his passion for drawing and painting at a young age while attending Rayo di Solo then Paulus school. He pursued his dream in the arts by studying at “the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale”. After graduation he came back to Aruba and started a t-shirt shop named “Isla designz of Aruba” which consisted of designing and printing t-shirts with different Aruban flavors. After that he was introduced to automotive painting, where he expanded his art field into custom painting helmets, motorcycles, cars and boats. To this date he still paints motorcycles and vehicles. Not too long ago in the last couple of years he started painting murals and canvasses which was out of his comfort zone but expanded his art career in many ways.
There, he honed his skills and developed a focus on painting images of his native Aruba on various products, such as canvas, murals, and t-shirts.
Paul Wong’s dedication to capturing the essence of Aruba through his art, along with his ability to transform everyday objects into works of art, showcases his artistic versatility and commitment to sharing his love for his homeland with others.
