Building on the success of the group exhibition originally titled “Paradise of Colours and Expressions”, Waitukubuli Artist Association, in collaboration with The Prevo Cinemall, has announced that they will keep the show going in the run-up to the Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n

Organizers revealed in a press release that the exhibition has been thoughtfully reimagined into a festive continuation, now called “Christmas in Paradise,” reflecting the spirit of the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Following what they say was an overwhelmingly positive response from the public, the participating artists were invited to extend the exhibition and reinterpret their works through a holiday lens. This adaptation aims to infuse “the warmth, rhythm, and spirit of Dominica’s Christmas into an already celebrated showcase of colour and creativity.”<\/p>\n

“Christmas in Paradise” features works by some of Dominica\u2019s most respected and beloved artists, including Lennox Honychurch, Earl Etienne, Michael Lees, Edward Collins, Lowell \u201cOMtNI\u201d Royer, among others.<\/p>\n

“Together, their works capture the magic of the Christmas season, where tradition meets contemporary expression, and paradise glows with festive cheer,” said the statement.<\/p>\n
