BARBADOS - The time has come to create opportunities for
Caribbean artists on the world stage, asserts a leading regional
artist. 

Barbadian Ras Akyem-i Ramsay, Director of the Barbados-based

art-aniMAL Inc.,
lamented the under-representation of Caribbean visual arts across the
world. This under representation, he contended, offered creative
visionaries an opportunity for leadership in this "virgin space."

"I hope to be to Caribbean Art what Bob Marley is to Caribbean music,"
asserted Ras Akyem-i, who has earned global attention for his artwork.
