On the walls: Jamaican artists in the Kingston Creative Hub | Loop
Posted on August 12, 2020
Loop Lifestyle got the opportunity recently to tour the Kingston Creative Hub, a co-working space in the heart of downtown, Kingston. The Kingston Creative Hub (KCH), at 107 Harbour Street, is neatly tucked away upstairs the historic Swiss Stores. A walk up to the second floor reveals murals by Tamara Harding and Rebecca Levy, and a ‘hot-desk’ area decked out with lounge seating, hanging swings, and quaint office spaces. The 2200-sq ft space fits six offices, a hot-desk lounge, a podcast booth, and a conference room. One corridor fronts large-format pop art by Kianne Hutchinson; the other, the majority of the six private rooms, where one may find the podcast studio. The space to behold is the 20-seater conference room which doubles as a photo studio, and is a minimalist’s dream, aptly dotted with drone photography by Yanic Barrett...

CATAPULT, a Caribbean arts grant, will target participants living and working across the Dutch-, English-, French-, and Spanish-speaking regions...
The Kingston Creative network, known for re-facing the Jamaican art scene in downtown Kingston, today announced two new ventures. Dubbed the Kingston Creative Hub and the Artisan Collective, both spaces were established to encourage creative collaboration, digital connectivity, develop a monetisation mindset, and improve creativity. The Kingston Creative Hub officially opened on Monday, and the Artist Collective, is slated to open on August 14. But, in earnest, a select group of stakeholders, Kingston Creative volunteers, and participating donors christened the former on Sunday...
