The dominant theme of the exhibit, curated by Nadesha Mijoba, is the 500 years of diverse ethnic and cultural influences on Caribbean Art, such as the Arawak

peoples of the Caribbean, slaves from Africa,

and waves of immigrants, including artists of European origin. The nature of


Caribbean Art expresses these diverse origins, as contemporary artists have


taken their roots, trainings and traditions and adapted them to reflect their 
artistic expressions.

The Latin Network for the Visual Arts works to culturally enrich


the community through art created by contemporary Latin American and Latin

European artists.
