We are so incredibly honored to make the KEN 2025 list of Indonesia’s top cultural events. We’re one of 7 events in Bali to make the list. We feel very strongly about supporting the revival of the creative economy in Ubud and are excited to be recognized by this incredible initiative.
KEN or Karisma Event Nusantara is one of the collaboration strategies from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy working with Indonesia’s regions to support quality events that promote tourism destinations and the creative economy, increase tourist visits, empower local potential, and provide a positive impact on the economy, socio-culture, and environment with the principle of sustainable development.
Discover the Unseen
Ubud Open Studios offers a glimpse into the sacred spaces where art comes to life. This year, the event showcases over 60 local and international artists’ studios, inviting you to enter their world of creativity and craftsmanship. It's an opportunity to connect, converse, and collect experiences and artworks that resonate.
With studios ranging from painters, architects, designers, photographers, ceramicists, textile designers, and more—participants can organize their daily schedules and explore each at their own pace. Whether you’ve lived on the island for a long time, or are simply visiting, Ubud Open Studios is a rare opportunity to discover new artists and access hidden worlds that often exist behind closed doors.
The art crawl format allows for a more personal and less intimidating approach to experiencing art. Engage in conversations with painters, sculptors, ceramicists, and multimedia artists as they demonstrate their craft in real time. This direct interaction fosters a deeper appreciation for the artistic process and the individuals behind the creations.
