The 14th annual CaFA Fair Barbados returned to the historic Bagnall's Point Gallery, Pelican Village Center from March 6 – 10, 2024. With artwork and presentations from over 45 artists representing 16 Caribbean nations, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, the UK and USA it was a visual treat for our patrons attending the daily events, workshops and panel discussions on offer. We are excited to partner with Export Barbados and BIDC to return for the 15th Anniversary of CaFA Fair Barbados in 2025. Please visit our platform at Caribbean.Global for details of available artwork from all our participating artists.
We want to thank the artists, presenters, participants, staff, and volunteers who continue to make this entire event possible. A special thank you to our sponsors, supporters, patrons, and everyone who has attended CaFA Fair Barbados over the years. It was a pleasure to interact with you all in person once again.
