81C ARTS

We manage a professionally curated art gallery, hosting 7-10 full scale exhibitions per year. Each show remains on display for approximately 6-8 weeks. Our featured artist demographic breakdown is typically 80% St. Thomas based and 20% internationally based artists. 

We host pop-up shows in our reception and event space, featuring predominantly art, but also craft retail, culinary, and literary events. Pop-ups can take on any form. 

81C Studio offers no-cost studio workspace to St. Thomas based artists who qualify. We assist in sourcing materials and art supplies and create opportunities for artists to grow. 

This project is also an emerging mentorship program, pairing participants with aspiring artists through third party education/arts liaison. 

We welcome youth groups from schools, churches, and other organizations to experience our Fine Art Exhibition Program and Creative Pop-Up Art Shows and Events Program. This youth enrichment initiative is coordinated through third party education/arts liaisons. 

81C Sound is a music series and youth enrichment initiative featuring musical guest talent for ticketed performances and youth group interaction. Featured musical artists work with curators to offer free performance and interactive sessions to community youth once monthly.

We offer pop-up opportunities to emerging entrepreneurs focused on local artisan products, clothing, and craft. Typically reserved for Virgin Islands clothing brands, this program strives to elevate younger creators and visionaries who are following their dreams and want to draw exposure to their brand.
