After only a year, new persons have come aboard the Anthea McGibbon team. There is now more force to promote the creative industry of Jamaica.

It has become necessary to secure the skill of others, in order to better provide meaningful coverage and input on a wider variety of the Arts existing and ever expanding as Jamaicans explore the global market.

The site is uniquely dedicated to release art news, exposing hidden gems from literary, performing and visual Arts. In addition select support services for artists and artistes such as web page content development and design, artist(es) representation, can be had.

There are times especially in peak seasons when two or more culturally-related activities are taking place, providing a challenge for the only two writers, who also double as photographers to attend. There are more plays, books for reviews for example.

There is also need to provide expert guidance and detailed papers from expert professionals relating to the fields such as from a legal or business angle. This especially for those who use the site for research, or, guidance.

The reports and reviews are written from the perspective of arts and culture, by practioners who are involved or practicing themselves, or relating fields.

That aside, in the face of global market, where it is the shared belief that Jamaican and Caribbean nationals belong at its apex, it is necessary to have representatives who can bridge the gaps.

This is especially necessary, as the team also provides relevant news to at least three international media houses.

Anthea McGibbon, who for 13 years has been working at the Caribbean’s leading newspaper, last January dedicated herself to providing full art news. Additionally she is an arts and communications consultant, having much trained and experienced knowledge in the expressions, visual, performing, and literary.

Her experienced knowledge includes modelling, choreographer, editor, features writer, and co-ordinator, photographer, weddings and other events, photojournaslist, event planning, graphic design, painting, marketting, public relations over a 20-year period.

tree without roots.” — Marcus Mosiah Garvey

“There is much thrill in using one’s skill to advance others, a nation of achievers gets built even quicker” – Anthea McGibbon
