Of course, entrepreneurs in Bali have realized it, so many interesting shopping places have been built to visit. One of them is the Kuta Art Market. An art market that is famous for its variety of knick-knacks, handmade, to paintings.

The Atmosphere of Being in the Kuta Art Market

For those of you who travel to Bali, you must make the Kuta Art Market on your list. Because in the market, every tourist can choose various Balinese souvenirs, ranging from clothes with Balinese motifs, bed covers, sarongs, shorts, barong clothes, paintings, and other art items. Foreign and domestic tourists will be seen passing through this market starting at 11.00 WIB. The tourists are very enthusiastic to observe the various Balinese clothes sold in this market.

Generally, most customers buy Balinese shirts made of rayon or thin cotton. Not only for souvenirs, these clothes are also widely used by tourists while on vacation in Bali. There are also many sellers in independent shops such as Surami and Bae Dowi stores.

Kuta Art Market and Products for Sale

The Kuta art market is owned by the Kuta Traditional Village and was first built in 1975. The management of this traditional market is also under the control of the Kuta Traditional Village. Mudani just continues his parents' business. The goods he sells are almost the same as Surami's. The selling price is also not far apart.

There were many shoppers in Surami's shop among the capital's artists. This market is adjacent to several modern shopping centers, such as Matahari Kuta Square. Surami sells various kinds of Balinese clothing, such as T-shirts, pants, sarongs and hats bearing the "Bali" logo or words. This product range is priced from IDR 20,000 to hundreds of thousands. It could even be cheaper, depending on bargaining, which is why most tourists prefer to shop at this market because bargaining is possible, while in shopping centers the price is fixed.

But different from Bae Dowi. Most of the booth's customers are domestic tourists. The ratio is 60% local tourists and 40% foreign. "Most foreign tourists just look around and don't buy," he said.
