Waves of Innovation: A Celebration of Caribbean Invention

Step into a world where Caribbean imagination meets the future. Island SPACE invites you to an unforgettable evening celebrating Waves of Innovation: A Celebration of Caribbean Invention—our final art reception of the year and one of our most dynamic exhibitions to date.

This immersive experience spotlights visionary creators whose work expands how we see movement, identity, technology, and Caribbean ingenuity.

Guy Beckles (Trinidad & Tobago)

Internationally acclaimed as the only practicing kinetic artist in the English-speaking Caribbean, Guy Beckles fuses engineering, mathematics, and physics into hypnotic moving sculptures. His pieces—featured from the National Museum of Trinidad to galleries in London, New York, and Toronto—challenge the line between art and invention.

Robert Derrick (Dominica)

With training in New York and Kenya, Robert Derrick’s bold visual language explores Afro-Caribbean form, design, and spirit. His mixed-media works pulse with color, narrative, and a global Caribbean perspective.

• Artist meet-and-greet with Guy Beckles and Robert Derrick
• Guided viewing of kinetic art in motion and fresh mixed-media creations
• Interactive conversations about creativity, innovation, and Caribbean futurism
• Complimentary refreshments and networking with fellow art lovers, educators, and cultural partners

Whether you're an art collector, a lover of Caribbean creativity, or simply looking for an inspiring night out, this reception is the perfect way to celebrate the close of the year. Come experience Caribbean brilliance, boldness, and innovation—up close.
