Thriving art scene

Caribbean culture is very cosmopolitan which sears through the artworks found around the islands. You may enjoy the lovely people, music or even food but don’t miss out on some great art pieces like the pottery and figurines of the indigenous Arawak-Taino communities.

The Arawak – Tainos are said to be the original inhabitants of the Caribbean islands. There are also some amazing contemporary art galleries that curate some of the best pieces on the island. OBRA galleria in Puerto Rico and the Inner Gallery in Antigua have beautiful exhibitions that are a must-see.
