CIOUS 9 ART & Traditional Markets in Bali , | Page 29

ffering similar items as Sukawati Art Market,
located at Guwang Village in Ubud, this
traditional art market provides an alternative
shopping destination for visitors who wish to avoid the
crowds often flocking Sukawati during peak periods.
Guwang’s nearby location, only 1km south from Sukawati
also adds to this convenience. Besides the art market as
a source of Bali souvenirs and handicrafts, the village of
Guwang features many art shops and galleries. Nearly all
of the vendors at the Guwang Art Market are also kiosk and
stall keepers at Sukawati. Therefore, beachwear, cotton
shirts, sandals, and the typical Balinese handicrafts can
all be found here. Visitors will easily find more space here
than at Sukawati. For example, ample parking space is just
after a large banyan tree with a small shrine filled with daily
flower offerings and burning incense. Before entering the
car park, a concrete sign at the tree reads, ‘Pasar Seni
Guwang’ with subtitles ‘Guwang Art Market’.
