Kingston Creative Limited

Kingston Creative is a nonprofit arts organisation started in 2017 by a team of three co-founders who believe in using Art and Culture to achieve social and economic transformation. We want to see the city of Kingston leverage its creative heritage, its world-class talent and reach its potential to become a Creative City, not just in name or by UNESCO designation, but for this to be a reality for all who live in Kingston. We envision a safe and vibrant Art District in Downtown Kingston, a Creative Hub that develops and trains people and long-term, a healthy creative ecosystem in Jamaica. We are a small, voluntary organisation, and we recognise that this is a huge vision, but it is certainly a vision worth working towards.nThrough our work, Downtown Kingston has become a vibrant cultural hub. Through Paint the City, over 120 murals tell stories of resilience and create income for artists. With training and platforms like Kulcha Connect, creatives now thrive. With continued support, Kingston Creative will grow a sustainable Art District that brings pride and opportunity to Jamaica.
