ST. LUCIA: Musicians, poets, dancers, artists, mangers and audio visual producers were among guests at the Prime Minister’s official residence, Saturday.
Saint Lucia’s Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Kenny D. Anthony met with creative industry stakeholders at his official residence in Vigie on Saturday, to map the way forward for the sector.
Musicians, poets, dancers, artists, mangers and audio visual producers were among some of the Prime Minister’s guests.
“One of the key points that I understand is that we have to transform the creative sector into an exports sector,” Dr. Anthony said. “It’s not enough that we produce just for domestic consumption, but we have to learn to export – we have to compete with the wider world.”
Minister for Tourism, Heritage and Creative Industries Hon. Lorne Theophilus said this is necessary to help with the growth of the sector.
“It is the first time that they have been given this one on one audience with people who at times are a little difficult to get in touch with. It gives them an opportunity to air their views and to meet one on one, and witness how the work of the creative industries sector will benefit them and our country in the long run.”
The Creative Industries Policy was introduced in 2015.
Interested persons can contact the Ministry of Tourism, Heritage and Creative Industries for more details.
