Following three successful editions in Jamaica, Worlds Collide partners with Hi Esteem Agency to bring the region’s most prestigious art showcase to Barbadian shores.

With a mission to connect high-end tourism with Caribbean creativity, the Worlds Collide Art Show aims to spotlight the region’s cultural richness while promoting cultural tourism as a key pillar in the island’s evolving tourism offering.
This year’s featured artist is Barbados’ own Shane Eastmond, a celebrated visual artist known for his powerful and emotive work. Guests will be treated to a live painting demonstration by Eastmond, alongside a curated exhibition of his pieces.
“It’s an honour to be featured in this edition of Worlds Collide,” said Eastmond. “Art and entertainment have shaped my journey in so many ways, and this platform brings a fresh energy to how we present Caribbean creativity. It’s inspiring, not only for the artists but for everyone who attends.”
