MANIFESTO BARBADOS
Pop-Up Art Campus
“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 Wendy Kidd
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
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
