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, installation, sound design, and interactive storytelling. The exhibition brings together Caribbean artists and cultural storytellers to explore what it means to protect identity, memory, and artistic legacy in a rapidly changing world. 

Since its founding, Prolific has grown into a respected platform for both emerging and established artists, offering space for meaningful creative exchange within the Virgin Islands’ arts community. Prolific V: The Lost Gallery builds upon that legacy by centering work that reflects intention, care, and devotion to art that resists erasure and affirms cultural presence. 

This year’s exhibition will feature digital works by Kirk Remedy Rojas, a multidisciplinary digital artist whose practice explores futurism, memory, and cultural survival through immersive visual storytelling. Mr. Rojas’ work connects past, present, and future through digital interpretation. His featured pieces will serve as a narrative anchor within the exhibition, reinforcing the themes of preservation, transmission, and cultural continuity that define Prolific V. 

“Prolific has always been about more than showing art,” says creator Eliana L. Schuster-Brown. “It’s about creating spaces where Caribbean people can see themselves fully: our beauty, our complexity, our history, and our future. Prolific V asks us to think about how culture survives, and

what role each of us plays in carrying it forward.”

Visitors can expect: 

• Immersive Caribbean visual and installation art

• Original digital storytelling and projection experiences

• Interactive cultural participation installations

• Multi-sensory sound and environmental design

• Narrative driven exhibition flow exploring past, present, and future Virgin Islands identity.

As part of Prolific V, Eliana B Artistry is launching a community art contest designed to uplift emerging and established artists across the Territory.

The contest invites artists in grade 7th through 12th grade to submit original work either directly to Eliana B Artistry or through their school art program. The artwork should respond to themes of cultural identity, self-love through heritage, Caribbean futurism, memory, resistance, and preservation. All in all, focusing on the future of the Virgin Islands. The artwork will be featured in Prolific and voting for “The People’s Choice” will be open. Prizes for the artwork with the most votes include a free month of art classes as well as an undisclosed cash prize! Please email elianabartistry@gmail.com for submission details.
