MANIFESTO BARBADOS:
Pop-Up Art Campus & Lounge on the grounds of Holders House
“What’s up with that shed?”
That was the question that started it all, an idea to do something revolutionary and different, a place for the arts if only for a little while, a Pop-Up creative space. After throwing around ideas, we finally settled on the project; The Manifesto Barbados Pop-Up Campus and we pitched it to the Wendy Kidd the owner of Holders House.  We’re aiming to have this project ready to go by September 23rd and lead into the Manifesto festival (October 15th-16th), which also will be held at Holders House.
For those of you in the Arts world in Barbados that don’t know the name you should she’s the founder of the annual Holders Festival Season, one of the largest and renowned festivals on island. After hearing our idea she immediately jumped on board and offered us the use of the ground for free. And so the project was born.
On Sunday August 21st, we got down to the business of cleaning the shed on the Holder’s Festival Season grounds in preparation for the upcoming Manifesto Pop-Up Campus & Lounge. The lounge will provide an atmosphere  for artists to exhibit their work, perform, hang out, grab a drink, and watch a few non-Michael Bay films. As this project evolves and becomes reality, stay tuned to the site for updates, as we document the whole thing.
The next move is to invite artists to showcase their best work (video installations, sculpture, drawings, paintings, etc.). We need your help! Volunteers, Artist submissions and any donations i.e. couches, lamps, rugs, books, pretty much anything that will add to the decor .  Check out some pics of the space after the jump.Questions? msg us on facebook
Sign up to be a volunteer via our Get Involved section on the site. or email us at volunteer@manifestobarbados.com
