M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Built on a foundation of great minds, glorious people, and devoted volunteers and employees, CMCArts (The Caribbean Museum for the Arts) has survived and thrived to become the main bastion for the arts on St. Croix. This venerable art museum and major hub for the arts and art education on the Big Island, has announced that it is expanding to St. Thomas and opening a second location in the heart of Charlotte Amalie sometime this year.       The expansi

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - If you are not afraid to dig too deeply into your past, peel off the layers of your age-old psyche, take a magnifying glass back through your time here on earth, all for the sake of finding out what really makes you tick, what really built you into the type of person you have become, you just might find yourself becoming a sort of  navigator into your own soul, a psychic explorer of a kind, who believes it is important to plumb the depths of one’s lif

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Springtime is almost here and Art Thursday in Christiansted on March 19th, is welcoming in the season with an array of exciting new works of art, beautiful jewelry designs, and lovely glass and Chaney shapes and styles.        There is something about Spring that not only fills the air with the sweetest of smells, but also fills the mind with thoughts of hope, new beginnings, and a renewed outlook on life. Spring points us towards the future like no o

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Leonardo Benzant is an artist who believes the human psyche is made up of multiple personalities. He has no problem in walking a dangerous artistic tightrope to bring those multiple personalities onto his canvas. In the process, he forces the viewer to go along with him and believe this is the natural order of the human condition. Of course, you can laugh him off, call him a madman or an artistic genius if you like, but if you follow him down his rabb

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Great thinkers believe that art and love are profoundly intertwined, representing emotional expression, connection, and creation.       “Art and love are the same thing: it’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you,” states cultural critic Chuck Klosterman.        “In our life there is a single color, as on an artist’s palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love,” says the famed radical modernist pain

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Eliana L. Schuster-Brown, owner of Eliana B Artistry, proudly presents Prolific V: The Lost Gallery, the fifth installment of the highly popular Prolific Immersive Exhibition Series, an evolving cultural platform rooted in Virgin Islands identity, creative expression, and self-love as a cultural practice.        Opening on February 21, 2026, Prolific V invites the public into a multi-sensory exhibition experience blending visual art, digital media, in

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Some artists look to capture terra firma and the mountains. Some artists seek to ride the waves from the sea to the sky. Some invoke the past. Some portray the present. John Obafemi Jones has set his sights on mapping out the inner workings of the human soul. He seems to reach out into the darkness of the universe that surrounds us, and takes it upon himself to express, with each of his paintings, the God-given right for everyone of us to give and rec

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - What could be more beautiful than viewing great art and watching the sun set over the Caribbean Sea from the 2nd Floor Gallery windows at CMCArts. The entire scene delivers a long moment of utter satisfaction.        The startling new Artist Guild of St. Croix’s 2026 Art Show, that just opened at CMCArts in Frederiksted, certainly packs a creative punch, an artistic wallop, that demonstrates to the surrounding islands that the Big Island of St. Croix

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - January brings hope and reflection. Two of the essential ingredients that make up great art. The New Year also brings about a renewed sense of energy, a devout desire to keep on pushing forward, along with a preponderance of thoughts that gathers up the best and worst of the past and hopefully mixes it all up into a potent new brew that propels us towards the future. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past," go

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - The art of the collage is not an easy artform to master. When it is produced by the hand of a master artist such as Jeff Condit, a collage involves mixing up images in such a way they not only have a singular meaning unto themselves, but they send off a newly formed unified message to the viewer. Mr. Condit’s remarkable collages succeed in titillating the imagination to a point the viewer is able to slowly move outside their single-image comfort zon
