The Cultural Development Foundation (CDF) will launch the 2018 National Arts Festival at 10 a.m. today, at the CDF conference room.
The annual National Arts Festival (NAF) was re-established as a major activity on the national cultural calendar in Dec. 2009, with the aim to continue and sustain the arts in Saint Lucia.
The specific objectives of the festival are to provide an avenue for showcasing Saint Lucian art and culture on a national level, with particular emphasis on original work; to promote the creative arts as an integral part of the economic and social fabric of Saint Lucian society; to provide an opportunity for Saint Lucian artists to gain tangible economic and other benefits from the production and presentation of their work on a national level; and to rejuvenate high quality production of the arts in Saint Lucia.
