Antigua and Barbuda Art Week 2025 Promises ‘Culture in Colour’ Celebration

The third edition of Antigua and Barbuda Art Week returns from November 26 to December 2, 2025, bringing together over fifty of the nation’s most talented artists for a vibrant showcase themed “Culture in Colour.”

This year’s line-up features leading visual artists including Heather Doram, Mark Brown, Makŏ Williams, Emile Hill, Gilly Gobinet, Faye Edwards, Jan Farara, Stephen Murphy, Kelly Hull, Marc Xavier, Sadiki Roberts, and Dominique Trotman, alongside students from the Antigua and Barbuda College of Advanced Studies with their exhibition “Vernacular.”

A special highlight will be the Barracks Studio pop-up in Redcliffe Quay, honouring the legacy of late Antiguan artists such as E.T. Henry, Frank Walters, Jill Walker, and Taylor Hikin. According to artist Stephen Murphy, the retrospective offers a “journey through time — showing where we come from and where we’re going.”

Other exhibitions will span galleries across the island, including The Quay Studio, Fig Tree Studio Art Gallery, Art House, Gunpowder House, Zemi Art Gallery, and Makŏ Fine Arts.

The week will also feature art and culture tours, live performances, sip-and-paint sessions, workshops, and creative experiences such as “Mandalas and Mojitos,” “Canvas and Cocktails,” and “Brunch with the Arts.”

Maria Blackman, Marketing Communications Manager at the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, said this year’s event aims to deepen connections with artists locally and abroad, fostering new creative collaborations.

Tickets start at EC$70, with hotel packages from US$259 per night available at visitantiguabarbuda.com.

Antigua and Barbuda Art Week 2025 is presented by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, the Department of Culture, and Long Bay Brewing.
