1. Webcraf Concepts

Art Gallery

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.

3. 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.
