With a rich pre-Colombian history, Ecuador's capital was founded on the ruins of an Incan city but offers everything a modern traveler might need. It remains the least-altered historic center in Latin America and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quito’s important sites include baroque gems like San Francisco and Santo Domingo monasteries, as well as La Compañía church and college. This huge city sprawls across a breathtaking Andean valley surrounded by volcanic peaks.

This is a permanent exhibit of many phases of my art work in 7 rooms in a 175 year old restored house in the historic center of Quito, Ecuador. The art work is oneiric and hyperreal, in oil, drawing, and assemblage. I also take visitors through the house and patios to have a birds-eye view of what a typical colonial Quitenio house is like and to talk about restoration. Appointment only.

+ ARTE gallery is a space for the exhibition, promotion and marketing of art in the city of Quito-Ecuador. It was born due to the need for an exhibition space for emerging local artists. At present, it specializes in exhibiting contemporary and current works from Ecuador. It seeks to promote the career of emerging artists, internationalize the work of artists with experience and encourage the local art scene. A specific type of art is not shown; on the contrary, diversity and interdisciplinity are sought. Parallel to the exhibitions, conversations and activities are carried out that enrich the public's experience. In addition, it works on the promotion of artists in unconventional spaces outside the gallery and supports the artistic scene within Ecuador. On the other hand, seeks to work in collaboration with different entities of the medium to increase the possibility of work within art in Ecuador.

We thought this to be the best store to shop for Ecuador handicrafts. They have a large selection with not too expensive prices. I ended up getting my Panama hat here, good quality for $80, after comparing at other stores. My wife also filled out her suitcase with more souvenirs. Maybe 4 blocks from Plaza Foch down Moreno towards Old Town.
