A full-scale Artisan Fair was incorporated into Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino’s holiday program with the intention to provide guests with an enjoyable holiday activity that focuses on supporting local artists.
In recent years, the Ministry of Culture has been vetting local artists and artisans, awarding those who meet the strictest criteria with a seal of excellence, demonstrating that they are indeed genuine local craft makers.
Many of those artisans arrived at Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino to expose and promote their artistic endeavors, among attendees were: ceramic artist Trudy Lampe, mixed media specialist Diana Hopman, Cunucu Mondi Fierno with a line of craft wines, liquors, and spirits, made from organically grown local fruit, William Jansen and Nanda Braemer, showcasing their stylish driftwood lamps, photographer Carmen Mesar with 3D frames, a representative of the famous Aruba Aloe, Amanda with her homemade Kombucha, CR Sea Glass & Sterling Jewelry, and painter Johnson Altagracia.
The pleasant afternoon on the pool deck was well attended and enthusiastically received by all attendees!
