The art gallery at Calheta Marina not only brightens up the west side of the island but also ensures no one forgets that culture isn’t just about honey cake and poncha. With monthly events showcasing artists who turn Madeira’s landscapes into explosions of color, the gallery makes it clear that art is also a high-stakes sport: the risk of falling in love with a painting and having to negotiate with your wallet. It’s living proof that Madeira isn’t just about spectacular nature—it’s overflowing with creativity too.
Alma Artista isn’t just an art gallery and a hub for artisanal creations—it’s a gathering of five friends who decided their creative souls needed more than a WhatsApp group to thrive. What started as a casual dream of 'let’s make cool stuff together' quickly escalated when a shop at the Calheta Marina practically winked at them and said, ‘Why not here?’ And so, they took the plunge, proving that with enough creativity (and maybe some caffeine), even the most artistic daydreams can set sail.
The Alma Artista gallery was created by blending our passion for art with positive energies. Each space is carefully designed, respecting the principles of feng shui, to create perfect harmony between the artworks and their surroundings.
The effect is so noticeable that we’ve lost count of the compliments from visitors!
The gallery collaborates with a variety of partners to create unique experiences.
