The Art Asylum

Each of Earl Darius Etienne’s works is influenced by his environment and strives to transcend the conventional in various ways – for example, by creating illusions of motion in visibly static paintings. He is undoubtedly one of the most established Dominican artists. Stop by the Art Asylum to view and purchase some unique pieces that reflect the soul of the leading figure on Dominica’s contemporary art scene.

Paintings, wood carvings, ceramics, locally handmade soaps, body scrubs, scented candles and jewellery can all be found under one roof at Tiffany’s Art Gallery. Located in Canefield, the gallery has a spectacular display of locally produced art on sale, along with tasty food and drinks served in a lovely café. Watch out for the frequent cultural nights.

Old Mill Cultural Centre

Officially established in 1985 to provide facilities for the administration of local arts and culture, Old Mill Cultural Centre is a legendary venue for artists to show and sell their work. Due to the regular exhibits and performances, you’ll have the special opportunity to learn about the island’s cultural heritage in the most appropriate place: the first Dominican sugarcane mill.

Harmony Art Gallery

Located in the coastal village of Portsmouth, Harmony Art Gallery showcases a diverse collection of contemporary and traditional Caribbean art. The gallery features works by both local and international artists, providing a platform for cross-cultural artistic exchange. From paintings and photography to handcrafted jewelry and ceramics, Harmony Art Gallery offers a glimpse into the vibrant and eclectic art scene of Dominica.
