Ruby Bute’s Silk Cotton Grove Art Gallery
Your St. Maarten art tour will take you to Silk Cotton Grove Art Gallery in Friar’s Bay, the creative home of the late artist Ruby Bute.

A self-taught painter and storyteller, Ruby Bute used bold colors in her paintings to document St. Martin’s community and traditions. Her work preserves the island’s cultural memory, turning ordinary moments into stories about its people.

A family member of Ruby Bute will welcome you and share stories about the artist. Browse the collection, discuss paintings that interest you, and explore the gallery’s setting beside a large silk cotton tree.

Alexandre Minguet’s Gallery
Continue your St. Martin art tour with the work of the late French artist Alexandre Minguet.

Trained in Paris, Minguet brought a European artistic background to his colorful depictions of Caribbean beaches, village streets, and coastal landscapes. His paintings and prints offer another perspective on the scenery you encounter during your St. Martin art gallery shore excursion.

A family member or someone connected to Alexandre Minguet will introduce the collection and answer questions. Take time to look around, learn about Minguet’s connection to the island, and browse artwork available to purchase.

The Art Box Gallery
The Art Box Gallery in Cole Bay features works by a range of St. Maarten artists, including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and handmade jewelry.

The owner or a staff member will introduce you to the collection and share the stories behind pieces that catch your eye. Browse for a souvenir, enjoy the variety of Caribbean art and fine crafts, and ask questions if you want to know more.

After your final gallery visit, relax in the air-conditioned minibus as we take you back to your hotel or the cruise ship terminal. For cruise passengers, we plan the tour around your ship’s schedule and guarantee your return before the all-aboard time.
