What is the AICA of the South Caribbean?
AICA of the South Caribbean is a regional section of the International Art Critics Association with members in Barbados, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Jamaica, Martinique, Haïti, Cayman Islands and Bermuda.
One of the main aims of the AICA of the South Caribbean is promoting communication and interaction between the art critics of the region and consequently, between the artistic communities of the participating countries. Conferences and meetings are organised in the different Caribbean regions in order to improve this communication, often accompanied by visits to galleries and artists' studios. The second possibility is the website which brings the different members together.
