Their motto is “If you conceive it, we create it,” and a visit will reveal why. Webcraf Concepts was formed to market the diverse world of art in the most unique ways. Initially producing paintings and hand-painted t-shirts, it grew to give artists the opportunity of displaying and selling a sample of their exclusive work. If you’ve always wanted to get in touch with your creative side, do not miss Art & Wine taking place at the studio of the talented local artist Ruthven “Bari” Walkins on the first weekend of each month where you will learn how to create masterful pieces with complimentary wine and a delightful buffet for added inspiration.

Art Society

Art Gallery

Founded in 1943, this is the oldest established art organization in the Caribbean that nurtures, promotes and protects the visual arts. Art Society of Trinidad & Tobago was influenced by a small group of painters, poets and writers, the pioneering Society of Trinidad Independents and born out of the idea that instead of being a privilege for few, art should be available to all. Enjoy the annual show of new work including paintings, drawings and sculpture and check out the teaching seminars, workshops or other exciting activities it hosts.

101

Owned by Mark Pereira, the gallery took its name from its original street address. Over the years, 101 has developed an excellent reputation, offering precious paintings from private collections and focusing on a few gifted artists. From figurative watercolors and stylized realist landscapes in acrylic to semi-abstract masterpieces, take the chance to view and purchase some of the items on sale which can also be shipped internationally.

Brainchild of Martin Superville, this gallery is a work of art by itself. Located at the edge of a large pond in a peaceful wooded area, The Tobago Art Gallery comprises a collection of structures painted in bold colors and provides a permanent venue for Superville’s work, as well as a meeting point for local artists. After your visit, relax at the outdoor Tea Garden upstairs for a refreshment among lush tropical plants.
