One of the most exciting arts events in the Cayman Islands, the 2021 Cayman Arts Festival, will be taking place from February 4^th to 13^th, with a raft of local musical talent waiting to entertain local audiences. The Festival has always been known for attracting high calibre performers, who are as committed to education as they are to the arts, and this year is no exception. As the world continues to grapple with travel restrictions arising from the coronavirus pandemic, this situation has presented the Festival with the marvellous opportunity to showcase some exceedingly talented local performers. Soprano Georgina Gatto, Guitarist Nathan Barnett Herrera and his group and the co-founder of the Cayman Arts Festival, Pianist Glen Inanga have committed to bring amazing performances to the public and also to lead several workshops with local and government schools. 

Over the years, CAF has traditionally supported various art forms in addition to music. This year is no exception, and during CAF’s ‘fringe’ events the audience will be entertained by students from CAF’s afterschool programme. “Theatre for Children” a morning play to be held at the George Town Library is a new addition to the Festival, which expands the reach of the Festival to younger audience. Another new addition will also be the launch of the CAF Literary Arts programme with an event entitled "How to write the book you’ve got inside you" where a panel of authors and publishers will take the public on a literary journey starting from the initial dreams of writing a book through to the realities of publishing it.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.caymanartsfestival.com.
