Three featured exhibitions: “The Cuban Connection”, “Wire Artists of Barbados” and “Diaspora Dialogue V” highlighted the visual art on display from the multi-talented array of artists.
The Caribbean Fashion Showcase was another tremendous success, while Symposium Saturday provided instruction and education for the eager patrons who attended.
On Saturday evening the Inaugural Bridgetown Arts Festival presented an exciting combination of performing arts and musical talent as the nightcap for our Saturday offerings. CaFA Fair Barbados’ presentation of our now annual Student Art Exhibit and Cosplay Alley continued at Norman Centre Mall in Bridgetown. While
scores of enthusiastic visitors attended our exhibits and special events, many others followed our presentations on social media.
We were fortunate to complete our programming with the impending spread of the COVID-19 virus. All was still well in paradise and thankfully everyone who traveled with us, and all those who worked so hard to produce the event returned to their respective homes safely. We want to thank the artists, presenters, participants, staff and volunteers who made this entire event possible. A special thank you to our sponsors, supporters, patrons, and everyone who has attended CaFA Fair Barbados over the years. We look forward to welcoming you in 2021. Stay safe and well.
