CARIBBEAN FINE ART FAIR 2025 IN REVIEW
The 15th annual CaFA Fair Barbados was held at the refurbished Pelican House, Bridgetown from March 5 – 9, 2025. One of Barbados newest event spaces, Pelican House was previously the home of Export Barbados/BIDC, which happens to be one of the sponsors of CaFA Fair Barbados. Featuring paintings, prints, sculpture, fine jewelry from over 40 artists representing 12 Caribbean nations, Ghana, Senegal, and USA, patrons were also treated to a series of multi-faceted daily events. Leading off was a chat with Bajan American artist/actor/filmmaker Tyson Hall, followed by a Cosplay Fashion Showcase, painting workshop, a presentation by Bajan American master of scenic design/visual artist Christopher Cumberbatch and a panel discussion on contemporary photography.
We are excited to partner with Export Barbados and Barbados Division of Culture
to return for our 16th year in 2026.
The Directors of CaFA Fair Barbados 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.
