“

Over the years, Art Gecko has maintained the bohemian edge that has tempered the taste of the items we purvey, as well as the the at- mosphere in the shops themselves. We strive to pro- vide a personal shop- ping experience, and

ming on the beaches of Bali. Many trades are done by motor bike that go directly to the source of production, small shops or vendors who represent the crafters of the items. We deal primarily with traditional manufactur- ers of cottage industry

ART GECKO HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT EXPLORA- TION, CULTURAL AWARENESS AS WELL AS GRASS ROOTS COM- MERCE.

we hope that you like our choices as much as we do! The mix is eclectic, ranging from elegant to fun, vintage Native American Turquoise to con- temporary designs in jewelry, fur- niture, clothing, decor, and holistic goods. Art Gecko started with a duf- fel bag and a free ticket. From there, the world has been our Basko (Indo- nesianmeatball soup of beef or chick- en, made with copious quantities of MSG). From over night buses to all night vending, the character of Art Gecko has always been molded by its experiences. We have made many ‘platform friends’ in India, played Capoeira in Bkk, and lots of drum-

crafts. This unique approach enables us to gather an exciting mix of goods. They are sometimes beautiful and sometimes irreverent, but always have a story. More than 20 years has passed, and sometimes we fly now instead of taking the 3rd class bus, or use Fe- dEx instead of running the gauntlet at customs. We truly appreciate you giving us the opportunity to present the artifacts, stones, jewels, historias y peliculas that make up the fabric of ours lives at Art Gecko.
