Ubud is undisputedly the center of the artistic scene in Bali. It has changed remarkably from the small artist's village it was five teen years ago to a bustling center of activity with a wide range of Balinese paintings on offer. Respected galleries such as Neka, Agung Rai and Rudana area worth visiting. Western artist Antonio Blanco has his collection displayed at his Gallery and home and Hans Snel exhibits his paintings at his restaurant and hotel off the main road. The Seniwati art gallery features works by women artists only.
A walk down the main road will take you past countless smaller galleries with varied styles of paintings and an electric collection of stores selling clothing, home-wares, antiques, jewelry, handicrafts and a few good bookshops. The central market sell a variety of goods.
The neighboring villages of Peliatan, Penestanan and Pengosekan are also home to many artist and galleries.
