The 'C' of the tiny trio of 'ABC Islands' — Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao — Curaçao is a beautiful, secluded landmass located in the southwestern Caribbean, just off the coast of Venezuela. The island is home to about 138,000 people, who represent more than 50 nationalities and can be heard speaking Dutch, Spanish, and English… not to mention the colorful local creole, Papiamentu. A vibrant and rich culture rooted in history and hospitality, Curaçao has been home to many painters and artists of all types. The already-inviting island also features an unsurprisingly warm and sunny climate year-round, with temperatures averaging in the mid-80s F.
