LOOKING BACK AT CARIBBEAN FINE ART FAIR BARBADOS 2026
The 16th annual CaFA Fair Barbados was held at the Old Spirit Bond, Bridgetown, a refurbished historic building facing the waterfront adjacent to Broad Street, the centerpiece of Barbados Capital City of Bridgetown. 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.
We were pleased to welcome renowned artist/scholar/educator and Professor Emeritus at Spelman College, Atlanta, Dr. Arturo Lindsay to Barbados. His documentary film Arte Congo was well received as was his conversation with University of the West Indies Professor of Cultural Studies Andrew Millington.
Featured presentations by Bajan American artist/actor/filmmaker Tyson Hall and USA Gallerist/Curator Maria Williams were punctuated by an interactive painting workshop with visual artist S. Ross Browne, and a fascinating showcase of sustainable Caribbean Fashion highlighted by the innovative Soul-R fashion line.
We look forward to our ongoing partnership with the Barbados Division of Culture and the Barbados Center for Hybrid Studies to return for our 17th year in 2027.
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 contributed to our ongoing success.
