    CONTENTS MESSAGES ARTISTIC VISION BACKGROUND ELEMENTS OF THE FESTIVAL MAIN VENUES ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ACCOMMODATION ACCREDITATION CULINARY ARTS DANCE DRAMA FASHION FILM LITERARY ARTS MUSIC PHILATELIC ARTS SECURITY SYMPOSIA TRANSPORTATION VISUAL ARTS YOUTH VILLAGE FORMS APPENDICES PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA) was born in Guyana many years ago. As the festival comes home, we welcome the opportunity to host and to embrace the artists, great creators and minds of the region as we did thirty six years ago. We are sparing no effort in preparing for this festival. Several hundred persons have been working over a long period of time on committees and working groups in order to ensure that all your expectations are met once you and your contingents arrive in our country. This underscores not only the importance we attach to this festival but to the ideal of Caribbean unity, growth and prosperity. Art transcends all barriers of time, space and person. Artists look beyond the externalities of the common and obvious, toward something greater in all humans, toward something larger than all humans. CARIFESTA therefore offers us the opportunity of transcending those things which can blind, limit and divide us as people, as nations and as a region. This festival offers us the opportunity to assess where we are, where we want to go and to fashion that direction in no uncertain terms. CARIFESTA X offers our region a chance to see what we are and what we produce, and to showcase that creativity to ourselves and the world. At this very important juncture in global economic history we must own what we originate and support those who create.
