The Arts & Crafts Village is designed to facilitate easy, on-site shopping for the delegates at the Caribbean Marketplace but will be open to locals and all visitors as well and will feature not just a great collection of traditional and contemporary arts and crafts, but also designer clothing and accessories, lots of fashionable and art jewelry, natural body products, local music and books, wines, décor, ceramics and more.

Patrons can just walk in from the beach and take a look around at the tent-booths and the central shop. And as an added incentive, the participating companies have each given one of their items for an amazing raffle.The winner is guaranteed to win a fantastic prize from this great collection of designer items.

The ACV committee is expecting great support for St Lucian creativity. Finola Prescott, Organizer of the event told Caribbean Net News that patrons will be quite surprised by the fantastic, high quality products that are made right here in our island.
