Artwork and Market Street

Artwork and Market Street

What is Paint the City

For over three years on the last Sunday of the month, Kingston Creative has presented the Artwalk, a free public arts event that showcases artistic and cultural talent in Jamaica. Hundreds of dancers, musicians, visual artists, poets, writers, have participated in genre specific months, engaging audiences with a wide range of presentations and performances.

Market Street is a pop-up artisanal market held in Water Lane, Downtown Kingston which started in April 2018.  It is a commercial platform for creative entrepreneurs, artisans and makers, which was paired with the Artwalk to include music and performances from local artists.  This project expanded in July 2020 to become the Artisan Collective Store on Ocean Boulevard, a zero commission retail shop where the goods from the artisans can be purchased.  Market Street partially funded by TEF and Sagicor.
