About

We are on a mission to immortalise authentic Caribbean culture and heritage through the artistic work of Caribbean artists by creating a platform where they can access global markets and make art a viable form of income to support themselves and their families.

This will no doubt help to collectively conserve dying Caribbean cultures and traditions but also rebrand the region, and give the Caribbean youth an opportunity to positively express themselves, generate a spirit of entrepreneurship, and reduce the number of people lured into crime, the drug trade and human sex trafficking as a form of income for survival.

The paintings in this working collection tell stories that have travelled from generation to generation over hundreds of years via the oral tradition. This vibrant collection represents the resilience of a people to overcome challenging situations, and their determination and ability to make their own distinctive mark in the world.

Join us for this exclusive art exhibition and find out more about the CaribArt Project and how you can get involved!

Im sure many of you know at least one family that had their homes destroyed in the Caribbean by hurricane Maria, so at launch night we will be having an art raffle to raise funds for those who's lives were devastated and lost everything! So please dig deep its for a very worthy cause!!!

Raffle tickets will be £2.50 each or a strip of 5 for £10
