Cultural and creative economy development in the Caribbean

Overview

Antigua and Barbuda is implementing initiatives to support its creative economy and cultural sectors. In September 2026, the Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission launched a Music Production and Artist Development Department. This unit provides local musicians with professional training in areas such as songwriting, vocal coaching, and music production to create a “structured pathway that prioritises talent development, collaboration and industry readiness.”

Following these developments in the music sector, the region has seen expanded cultural programming. Antigua and Barbuda Art Week is scheduled for November 2026, featuring exhibitions, studio visits, and workshops designed to showcase local creators. Similar cultural efforts are occurring in Bermuda, where Art Month includes various exhibitions and interactive experiences to highlight regional talent.
