As part of a region-wide research initiative, the Fresh Milk Art Platform has created a collective Call & Response Programme for Caribbean-based contemporary artists, a survey to better understand what is required for the visual art sector in Barbados and other English-speaking countries in the Caribbean to be established and to flourish. See description below.
Description: Fresh Milk just launched its region-wide Call and Response programme for Caribbean-based visual artists. We want to know what’s required for the sector to flourish. This survey will support our tailor-made response based on what we learn from contemporary visual artists.
This collective Call & Response Programme aims to reflect a sense of unity by inviting inter-generational artists living and working in Barbados and the wider linguistic region to actively participate in the information gathering phase. Fresh Milk will gather this research between 2025 and 2027, which will shape a tailor-made Response programme addressing some of the urgent needs expressed by cultural workers in a more targeted way.
The form will take approximately 20-30 minutes of your time, depending on your level of interest and engagement with each section. You are welcome to share this form with your peers nationally and regionally or coordinate a group session within your artist-led initiative, museum, gallery or art organisation as shared activity.
