In 2024, Fresh Milk in partnership with the National Cultural Foundation, Barbados initiated the first iteration of TENDER: A Caribbean Arts Re-Granting Programme. The quality and variety of submissions was astounding, indicating an exciting future for the visual arts ecosystem emerging across all linguistic areas of the Caribbean.

We are excited to share the profiles and reflections from the twenty one successful TENDER 2024 grantees. These come in the form of written interviews, audio recordings or video logs – all available to view in full on our website.

Today we continue with the next three profiles in this interview series: Shari Phoenix, Jasmine Thomas-Girvan and Elsa María Meléndez!
