Space21

Shops where local makers sell their craft, art and art supplies, in San Nicolas and in Oranjestad.

Why I started it

When Cosecha closed in 2023, many local makers lost their place to sell. We opened Space21 so they would not lose their income.

What it is

When the Cosecha shop closed in 2023, many local makers lost their place to sell. Space21 opened so they would not lose that income.

Today more than 40 artisans sell under one roof. In 2026 a second shop opened at Playa, Caya G. F. Betico Croes 41 in downtown Oranjestad. Space21 makers also lead the MiSO workshops.
