Kingston’s waterfront is hosting Saint International’s first West Indies Fashion, Art and Architecture Exchange, bringing creative professionals together at the ROK Hotel and Jamaica Conference Centre.

The Jamaica Observer reports that the programme combines exhibitions, masterclasses, discussions and live presentations. A writing session with Jamaican author Safiya Sinclair and displays from the Jamaica National Group’s art collection feature among its activities.

Created by Saint International CEO Deiwght Peters, the exchange puts the relationship between culture and business at the centre of conversations about downtown Kingston. The coverage highlights opportunities for creative enterprise, rather than a completed waterfront redevelopment.
