    Found in the Quartier du Petit Champlain shopping district in famed "old Québec" City, you'll find…read morea store that has carved out quite a nice -- and unique -- niche, in an area with stores trying to find one amongst the throngs of international shoppers. Artnika is no gift shop: it's here to sell and support the creations of artists and artisans both local and international. Artnika is relatively new, having being established by Yolanda Santos and her daughter Gisel Campos Santos in 2013. It is definitely a lovely place. There are so many items, I can't do it justice here. But, I'll give you a few of their offerings that caught my eye. They have handcrafted jewelry .... if you're into originality and hues that POP, you've come to the right place. If you're into purses, you'll be hard-pressed to leave without one, as their offerings provide a rainbow of colors. I was particularly drawn to some of their wood items, especially their watches made of wood. Yes, you heard that right, watches made of wood! (Don't worry, you won't get splinters as the watchbands are made of leather!) Then, the art! There are tons of framed paintings. While "a little bit of everything" would be an apt description, I would say there is somewhat of a focus on cities and cityscapes. Still, you'll find children, animals, nature, etc., in several depictions Artnika is selling. There's also a strong focus on the Québécois artists. For one, I was drawn to both the beauty and humor of long-time local ceramist Pauline Pelletier's clay sculptures of cats, birds, and other animals. She seems to love color, shape, and shimmer (many of the faces are masked in a gold-like substance). The focus is quality at Artnika, so don't expect a ton of bargains. For example, they sell 3-Dimensional cards by Swing Cards. They move, they pop, they are amongst the most intricate cards I've ever seen. And they are $10 a pop. Pricey, but totally worth it, especially for your kids. You may not be looking for art in Québec City. Or, better said, you didn't know you were looking for art ... until to stopped at Artnika!
