The exhibition at Queen’s Park Gallery, which brought out hundreds to the opening, provides a unique opportunity to assess the influence of globalization on the compositions of our contemporary artists working as they do in the United States and England, an environment shaped by the intersection of multiple and different cultures.

By bringing together the participating artists with audiences from the art and culture community, key government officials and Consular representatives, members of international organizations interested in this area, the exhibition creates an opportunity for a seminal dialogue on ways of appreciating work from the Caribbean.
