About
The shopping scene in Kuta is wonderfully eclectic. The area's backpacker heritage is still apparent in the street shopping along Jalan Legian and in areas like Kuta Square and the Kuta Art Market, but as tourists have increased in affluence, so has the merchandise, and the shops that sell them (see Jalan Legian's brigade of boutiques and surf shops, or the many air-conditioned shopping malls in South Bali that have become just as much a part of the landscape as the candi bentar, or split gate).

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The stalls have been cleared and replaced by a three-story building. Great architecture but no tenants. The improved road surface now provides comfortable access the beach. Unfortunately, the empty building is adversely affecting the shops opposite, simply a lack of customers and not enough tourists passing by. Spoke to a couple of traders and they are disillusioned by the "improvements" but remain stoic in the belief that the building will be tenanted and trade will improve.

Had high expectations to discover the local handicrafts and souvenirs.
However, this place is almost a deserted place.
There are a few shops selling souvenir and trinkets as you enter the compound
The art market building itself is not worth the visit. Not all the stores are occupied. Those that are occupied, are selling the same things... clothing products that you find almost everywhere.
The only exception was a shop selling perfumes that cater to various preferences at the first level.

The new building has become partly populated with outlets since our visit in May. There is none of the feverish active activity of the former outdoor markets, the place has an almost sterile vibe. Didn't spend too much time here and headed to Kuta beach.

as long as you can manage the stress of the process - don't rush in to buying stuff until you have had a good look around all of the stalls (most of which are connected to the same owners). They mostly start high, you half it and then meet somewhere in the middle. Really not worth getting stressed over 50cents to a dollar difference as its all cheap anyway! We found one stall that was just happy to announce $5AUD for shorts and T-Shirts $4 - $6 dollars - so we were happy with that and bought more from him at that price we were both obviously happy with compared to others that pushed for double! Got a business card of this stall at home if anyone interested in knowing which one?

Went to Bali for a cultural holiday. Not disappointed. Loved going to Kuta Markets and visited there several times on my holiday. Need to Barter its expected and need to learn to say No Thanks with a SMILE. There are dozens of stalls there, and some good bargains. Ballinese people are very friendly and lovely people and the locals love to talk to tourists. First visit to the markets can be a bit overwhelming with so many stall holders calling out to buy their goods, but a 2nd visit and more is easier to navigate your way around and find those great things you returned to buy.

We visited these markets around lunch time, the name art markets isn't wholly accurate as there was no 'art' that we could see. It's the usual knock of goods which if you like to bargain you can get a reasonable deal ... if you've got no experience at bartering here's a rule of thumb - whatever their starting offer you reoffer 25% then after back & forth settle at around one third of what they asked for originally. If they won't budge walk off, they will 99% follow you and agree to about a third. They hate letting a buyer walk away. Offer to little and you risk losing out but remember there's stall after stall offering the same thing. It's a great cultural experience worth an hour of your time and supports the local economy.

Wake Bali Art Market brings a whole lot of things under one roof for the tourists to purchase. But the staff there are not very welcoming. They are busy chatting among themselves rather than attending the customers. I went there basically to buy souvenirs. While checking the bill on my way out I found that some items had been overcharged (from the price tag attached to that item). When I highlighted the same to the salesperson, she readily cancelled my earlier credit card payment and prepared a new bill. But she did not seem to be sorry for the mistake at their end. I could only point out the error as I bought those items in bulk, otherwise I would have to pay almost twice the actual amount. So one should check the bill thoroughly before making payment. Again, spotting some defect on one of my selected kids dresses (top and trouser) I asked them to provide me a fresh piece if they had. They gave me a new pack, mentioning that it contained a fresh piece of that item. But when I opened the pack after returning to my country, I found it contained a altogether different dress, only the fabric was similar. So you should check all your items before purchasing.

Horrible experience, very rude shop owners, they even start touching and hitting you if you don’t buy.

If you want seedy men offering you fake drugs and prostitutes then this is the place for you. Likewise if you want poor quality, fake, overpriced sports and surf branded clothing then come on down.
All of the merchandise here can be found elsewhere in a much more pleasant environment with less pushy vendors, at cheaper prices and without having to deal with creepy men trying to sell you drugs and “young girls”.
As for the art. Well there is some here but to call it an art Market is really stretching it. As above go elsewhere for better variety, quality, prices and a more pleasant experience.
This was our second time coming here and we only came because we were looking for a specific item.
We will not be back.

It’s not an art market. It’s a tourist trap with very pushy vendors selling fake branded singlets, tees, clothing, and so called “souvenirs” and the like. Stalls that sells the same things. Not worth the visit.
Will not return nor recommend.

Does anyone know where to buy a crochet hanging seat? I've seen one in Seminyak which was ridiculously priced hoping to find one in Kuta

Can anyone recommend a place to get art works made on canvas? I have heard you can take a picture of what you want and have it copied onto canvas to bring home and get framed.
Would love any suggestions in Legian or Seminyak.
Cheers

If you have a photo go to matahari supermarket, they print it onto canvas any size. I didn't get it framed, good quality vvery very cheap.
