The story

Cayman Art Week in George Town

Cayman Art Week Central is a week-long celebration of Cayman's visual arts scene, presented by the George Town Revitalisation Initiative each May, centered on George Town's gallery district and anchored by the free Art in the City happy hour and hop-on hop-off bus tours between venues.

Cayman Art Week Central, presented by the George Town Revitalisation Initiative, has grown into an annual week-long celebration spanning all three Cayman Islands, though its central programming concentrates in George Town, home to the largest concentration of galleries and studios in the country.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its distinguishing trait is the free hop-on hop-off bus network linking galleries, pop-up spaces and public art across George Town's business and Industrial Park districts, turning a scattered gallery scene into a single connected evening circuit

02

The mystery stays covered

Concentrating the whole visual arts community into one organized week, with artists present at many stops, gives the event a directness and accessibility that individual gallery openings throughout the year cannot match

03

The city starts moving

The fourth annual edition referenced ran May 22 through 26 in one recent year, with later editions shifting slightly on the calendar, and the George Town Revitalisation Initiative has expanded the bus route and participating venues in successive years since the week's founding
