Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts

Mission
To collect, preserve and exhibit the visual arts of the Caribbean community.

To provide an interactive environment that encourages children, youth and adults to explore and learn positive forms of expression.

To offer creative learning experiences which foster and understanding of the rich cultural and artistic traditions of the Caribbean.

CMCArts, Inc.was founded in 1994 by Candia Atwater, with the annual publication of the "Island Art & Soul" calendar of Caribbean art. In 2003, CMCArts moved into and began restoration of a wonderful, historic building on the waterfront in Frederiksted. Over the last four years, CMCArts has grown into an epicenter of activity, where residents and visitors of all ages have benefited from CMCArts' innovative arts and cultural programming. Now is an exciting and important time to be involved.

Today, the transformation of our property into a full-service facility is near completion, and CMCArts is now positioned to broaden our programs and deepen our commitment to the community we serve. The beautiful Caribbean Sea and historic Danish property offer a perfect setting for CMCArts' spacious exhibition galleries, visiting artist in residence apartments, working art studios and classrooms, a fully equipped pottery studio, gift shop, offices and protected courtyard for performances and events.
