ARTE funktional, this modern and contemporary art gallery was conceived by Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante. An artist in Textile and Ceramic Art of international stature herself, she has exhibited her work throughout North and South America, Japan and Europe in juried and curated exhibitions.
Carolina has been working in architectural ceramics and textiles in her Ashpa Naira Studio on the west side of Okanagan Lake since 1993, creating original and innovative design in clay and fibers for the living environment.
You may wonder what is architectural art?… It is when purity of artistic design fuses with integrity of function. Carolina’s philosophy is based in the belief and the passion of ART in a living space, enabling to make a personal statement.
Carolina has owned and operated commercial galleries in the Okanagan Valley since 2004.
ARTE funktional embraces the Contemporary Arts and Design, in an inviting and relaxed atmosphere, where you can feel the beauty and creativity, and you can experience works of art created by Okanagan and Canadian artists.
