Fresh Milk/ARC Magazine Launch in the Media

Art, Recognition, Culture: Celebrating ARC Magazine, a new quarterly publication on Caribbean art and culture

Two Vincentians – Holly Bynoe, a visual artist and Nadia Huggins, a digital photographer – have conceptualized and are preparing to release the third quarterly issue of ARC Magazine, a publication that focuses on a collection of works by contemporary visual and literary artists practicing in the Caribbean and its Diaspora.

ARC Magazine is a unique publication, a limited edition production likened to a contemporary art book, as it is necessary to ensure that the publication is a quality and contemporary resource.

Fresh Milk: A Platform for Conversation and Artistic Engagement

This venture is connected in spirit to the increasingly rich informal artist-led networks spawning from the Bahamas in the North to Suriname in the Southern Caribbean.  The idea for FRESH MILK has developed over years of conversations with other practicing artists around the need for artistic engagement amongst contemporary practitioners living and working in Barbados who are concerned with the contemporary Caribbean space – which maybe in Bridgetown, Toronto, Port of Spain or East London.

The Fresh Milk Platform

FRESH MILK is a space that straddles visual artist, Annalee Davis’ home with her working studio and gallery.  It is literally a wooden deck – a platform if you will, that connects her private dwelling home with the place where she thinks, writes, and makes things, becoming a point of connection between living and working environments as well as between herself and others.

FRESH MILK is located in the Southern Caribbean, a region often referred to as a hybridized space, well known for its capacity to fuse various elements and remake itself over and over again.  In this tradition, FRESH MILK appears   to be a singular space – a simple wooden deck used as a private eating area for a family but which on occasion transforms into a platform for ideas – bridging the divide between private and public, disciplines or territories; transformable into a gathering space for contemporary creatives who are thirsty to debate ideas and share works.

The intention of FRESH MILK is to stage two seasons of programming – a Wet Season – (July to November), and a Dry Season – (December to June).  All are welcome to FRESH MILK.
