ART WEEK Creative Island Takeover A rt Week was set up by The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Board to showcase local painters, sculptors, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, dancers, poets and more, who have creative offerings to share with the world. More than 30 artists took part in the event last year, which was the first of its kind. Some opened their studios to visitors, allowing them to experience the way they work and discuss their process, some displayed their work in already established exhibition spaces or new pop-up gallery spaces created specifically for this event.

A carefully curated art trail was also on offer which took participants on a journey through a variety of art spaces on Antigua. Visitors were also given the opportunity to get a little more hands on, with events encouraging people to create art work of their own, preferably while

sipping wine and nibbling on something delicious. Art Week is now an annual event and is a time when Antigua & Barbuda becomes alive with colour and creativity as residents and visitors take full advantage of all the amazing events on offer while local businesses get involved and show their support. It is an exciting and inspiring time to be on island, so if you’re on island between November 27 and December 3, 2024 we would highly recommend you get involved.
