Summary:
This article gives a fantastic baseline for how the different cultures of the Caribbean have meshed to create the types of art we see today. It then further expands into particular influencers in those different pockets of culture. Such as those that exemplify African heritage, those that depict political tribulations, or just those that question issues of identity and the body. Lastly, this article talks about the constant state of change between young contemporary artists and those wanting to keep major trends and traditions alive.

This article is published on the website of a magazine geared towards artworks, artists, and art venues. I believe the contributors and the readers of this magazine have enough background on the world of art to credibly speak about the subject material. In addition, the article lists four different resources as references for their work, one of which even being an Encyclopedia of Latin American & Caribbean Art. A source I might have to look into myself for my contributions to this Wiki page.

Project:
I believe this article will help me most with gathering a baseline for the different mix of cultures that contribute to art in the Caribbean. It discusses a melting pot of culture and how those cultures have all come together the form the contemporary art that we have today. Furthermore, I believe it will help jumpstart me into researching more specific artists in the Caribbean so that I can provide specific examples of these different cultures being included in what we have today.

Summary:
Discussing the plight of Caribbean artists is a focus of this article. For far too long have artists and art coming out of the caribbean been lumped in with an over-arching Latin America as their identity. This article discusses the newfound attention that the Caribbean has been gathering internationally and finally gaining their cultural identity as a unique region with its own distinct set of values and inspirations.
