Also known as Pasar Seni, the Sukawati Art Market is another two-story labyrinth of tiny shops where one might find wares and handicrafts ranging from statues to paintings to textiles and temple accessories…plus anything in between.  Yet another great location for souvenir shopping and for honing your price negotiation skills!

The art market’s main building is often packed with shopping holidaymakers and locals sourcing household and daily necessities. It is an alternative, inexpensive and complete shopping destination conveniently situated along most tour itineraries to the central and northern regions of the island.

At ground level, there are many stalls offering clothes, sarongs and fabrics of different sizes, colours and patterns. These can be seen hanging from the ceilings and stacked neatly in various piles. As turnovers are relatively high, produced motifs are never the same from time to time. Aromatic and aromatherapy items such as sandalwood oil-infused fans, incense sticks and colourful jelly candles can be found at the back areas of the art market. Bedcovers in abstract and splashes of colours as well as in creative forms of artistry, depicting birds and wildlife to portraits of famous figures are eye-catching features at the front stalls of the art market. Here items are stacked, rolled, hanged and displayed fully open.
