ST. JOHN’S, ANTIGUA (July 15, 2025) – The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority is inviting artists, art galleries, and creative organisations to be a part of the third edition of Antigua and Barbuda Art Week, taking place from November 26 – December 2, 2025. Being held under the theme ‘Culture in Colour’, Antigua and Barbuda Art Week allows the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority to strategically spotlight the heritage, culture and arts of the destination to visitors seeking out experiential and immersive experiences, while providing artists with a platform to showcase their work and connect with a wider audience.
“Antigua and Barbuda Art Week gives our artists an opportunity to tell their stories, engage new audiences, and be part of an experience that beautifully blends culture, tourism, and creativity,” said Maria Blackman, Marketing Communications Manager at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority. “Working with the Ministry of Creative Industries and the Department of Culture, our Heritage and Culture pillar team is thrilled to open this call for new and established artists, who want to inspire others, and share the beauty of our twin-island paradise through their amazing and intriguing work.”
The call is open to visual artists, photographers, muralists, sculptors, installation artists, and digital creatives, as well as fashion designers, performing artists, musicians, poets, dancers, and artisans. Selected artists will have the opportunity to participate in the week’s featured activities, including: Curated Exhibitions at the V.C. Bird International Airport and within St. John’s City, spoken word, dance, and musical performances at Rhythm and Vibes, Art, Food and Culture Tours throughout the community, Canvas and Cocktails with painting sessions guided by prominent local artists and infused with mixology and culinary elements, workshops and a televised Art Talk designed for professional development and engagement with creatives in the community. With community engagement at its heart, creatives are also invited to organise and submit details of their events taking place within the period of Antigua and Barbuda Art Week.
Artists participating in Antigua and Barbuda Art Week benefit from promotional support, media coverage, and opportunities to connect with other creatives, cultural influencers, and art-lovers.

This is a good platform but I wish they promoted it earlier and more widely. A lot of artists may miss the deadline.
Love the idea, but will there be opportunities for young or emerging artists who aren’t well connected? I hope so.
YES! Antigua and Barbuda Art Week is back! This is such an amazing platform for our local talent to shine.
No age limit I see. Works for me
