This place appeared thanks to the collaboration of Ukrainian and Russian art managers, residents of Madeira. Oksana Sukhonosova and Svetlana Azernikova: " The beginning of this art project was laid five years ago. Today Art Center Caravel is an art shop where you can find art and craft and ceramics. And this is of course a contemporary art gallery that represents both Portuguese artists and residents of the island".

It was not easy to find your place in another country, among people who speak a completely different language. It's much easier today. We have made wonderful loyal friends, our artists and craftsmen, we are known on the island. Our regulars come to visit us year after year. And yes, we already speak Portuguese.

Bem vindos ao nosso Art Center Caravel !!!

Caravel Art Center is open to Madeirense, to international artists living on the island and to foreign artists who want to exhibit here. When artist bring their works, we evaluate the quality and the possibility of selling them to tourists.

Unique magnets and Portuguese ceramics

A huge vacant niche in Madeira is handicraft and recycling art.The shop includes a few producers but mostly foreigners. A girl from Belarus who lives in Porto, young Russian man living in Madeira who makes jewelry, French woman on the island that makes sculptures from driftwood, and my favorite "Flower power from Madeira" by Sveta Azernikova.
