All in the name of art!

Empower artists of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow!

From our signature Poetry is an Island event, which transformed the streets of Aruba into a vibrant showcase of poetry and culture, to our monthly poetry nights held in unconventional locations, we’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional art events. Our innovative approach has earned us recognition and praise within the community.

Basha Foundation has served as a launching pad for many emerging artists, providing them with opportunities to showcase their work, gain exposure, and build confidence in their abilities. We’re proud to have played a role in the growth and development of Aruba’s artistic talent.
