The Waitukubuli Artist Association (WAA), in partnership with Prevo Cinemall, has unveiled a groundbreaking addition to Dominica’s Creolé Season festivities: a dynamic art exhibition titled *Paradise of Colours and Expressions*. Scheduled to run from October 10 to November 14, 2025, at the historic Prevo Cinemall in Roseau, the showcase will highlight the creative works of 23 Dominican artists across diverse mediums, including painting, photography, and poetry. The event is timed to align with Dominica’s Independence and Creolé Season celebrations, aiming to honor the island’s cultural heritage.
According to WAA Public Relations Officer Ms. Aileen Joseph, the exhibition is a tribute to Dominica’s rich history, with rhythm, language, and tradition reimagined through contemporary art. “This is our first exhibition centered on the theme of Cultural Heritage, celebrating the essence of who we are as a people,” she explained. The event follows the success of *Echoes of Resilience*, a 2024 collaboration between WAA and Prevo Cinemall that attracted over 700 visitors and sparked demand for a repeat.
Ms. Joseph emphasized that the exhibition will transform the Prevo Cinemall into a living canvas, where art and tradition converge to narrate Dominica’s story. Prevo Cinemall General Manager Ms. Vanessa Prevost praised the artists for their exceptional work, noting that *Echoes of Resilience* met international standards and showcased the island’s artistic talent. She also reflected on the legacy of the late Earl Darius Ettiene, a distinguished Dominican artist whose mentorship continues to inspire.
*Paradise of Colours and Expressions* promises an immersive experience, blending storytelling, placemaking, and remembrance. “Color here is more than pigment—it represents identity, resilience, and celebration,” Ms. Joseph remarked. “This paradise is rooted in our heritage, not in escape.” A special event, *Lyrics Under the Stars*, will be held on October 11, 2025, adding a poetic dimension to the exhibition.
The exhibition is free and open to the public, with viewing hours from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Contributions are encouraged, and both locals and visitors are invited to support Dominican artistry.
