Cayman Art Week’s familiar red dots are cropping up all over Camana Bay as the town prepares for the fourth-annual Cayman Art Week, taking place from 22-26 May.
Cayman Art Week brings together local artists and gallery owners to present five days of art events and pop-up exhibitions across all three Cayman Islands. Whether buying or browsing, it’s an ideal way to discover and connect with Cayman’s creative community.
Art exhibitions are open throughout the week, with free bus tours running in a different district each day. Camana Bay will be at the heart of the action on Thursday, 23 May, when CAW West brings the spotlight to venues along the Seven Mile Beach corridor.
Camana Bay is also the starting point for the free hop-on/hop-off bus tours that will run on a loop along West Bay Road from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, 23 May. Staffed by CAW volunteers, the buses are a sociable and convenient way to maximise your time at the more than 12 Seven Mile Beach venues featuring more than 80 artists participating in CAW West, such as The Gallery at The Ritz-Carlton, the Kennedy Gallery and pop-ups at Ledger & Looms (featuring Jo Austin) and Quinntessential Movement, where a solo show of artwork by Cera-Tan will be on display.
On Friday, 24 May, Cayman Art Week moves to George Town for CAW Central/Art in the City with 14 arts venues opening their doors, and on Saturday, 25 May, there are curated bus tours to galleries and studios in Industrial Park and the eastern districts.
