The third edition of Antigua and Barbuda Art Week is set to captivate audiences from November 26, 2025, with over 50 artists showcasing their works. Organized by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority (ABTA) in collaboration with the Department of Culture, this year’s event promises a vibrant fusion of traditional and contemporary art, reflecting the nation’s rich cultural tapestry. Maria Blackman, ABTA’s marketing manager, expressed her enthusiasm for the overwhelming response from artists across the Caribbean, the US, Canada, and the wider diaspora. ‘From Haiti to Guadeloupe, the interest has been incredible,’ she remarked. ‘We are thrilled to continue supporting our artists and showcasing Antigua and Barbuda on an international stage.’ Local artist Stephen Murphy, a participant since the event’s inception, emphasized the significant impact of Art Week in promoting the island’s creative talent, citing recent sales at Carifesta in Barbados as evidence of its growing influence. The 2025 theme, ‘Culture in Color,’ aims to highlight authentic local experiences through visual arts, dance, spoken word, and music. The program will extend beyond traditional venues, offering visitors unique opportunities to engage directly with artists in their communities. All artworks displayed during the festival, including those at the airport and other public spaces, will be available for purchase, with a series of sub-events planned to enrich the experience.
