The 8th annual Jamaican Arts Odyssey is an immersive, three-day midsummer celebration where artists and art lovers imbued with the spirit of Portland, Jamaica and Africa will gather for exhibits, discussions, demonstrations and a much-anticipated Masquerade Cocktail Party.
Rain or shine, this moving and memorable excursion — from Jamaica’s rich African heritage to the inspired and inarguable talents that bejewel our island home — will be enhanced by stunning clifftop vistas of the Caribbean, as well as the creative panache of Great Huts’.
The Odyssey will begin on Friday June 22nd, as mystical artist Nakazzi presents her tribute to the legacy of renowned Jamaican ceramicist and sculptor Gene Pearson from 11am to 4pm at the Grosvenor Art Gallery, 1 Grosvenor Terrace, Kingston.
