Cayman Islands, BWI (November 6, 2018 9AM EST) – KAABOO Cayman, the two-day live music and comedy, culinary, and lifestyle experience, just announced the full visual artist lineup for the inaugural 2019 event.

KAABOO is a multi-sensory experience, and perhaps one of my favorites is our ARTWORK exhibition. With over 85% of the KAABOO Cayman exhibition comprised of local artists, we are extremely excited to unveil what we believe will quickly become the largest showcase of contemporary art in the Caribbean. The exposure local artists will receive by such a diverse international audience of art lovers and buyers is really exciting.”  – KAABOO Chief Brand Officer, Jason Felts

I have been very fortunate to have spent the past year making several trips to Grand Cayman, painting murals and engaging in the local Art Culture. The island has a rich pool of talented artists and enthusiasts, as well as a uniquely beautiful land and seascape. It has been a pleasure introducing KAABOO to the local community, and I look forward to unveiling our ARTWORK  Experience in its entirety.” – Amandalynn, KAABOO Art Director

“Visual art can be such a powerful tool, it has the ability to move you, inspire you, make you think differently… I’m looking forward to seeing what these talented artists have up their sleeves and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.” – Kaitlyn Elphinstone

“For me this is an opportunity to share my work with many more people beyond our shoreline. I get to show the people who come to KAABOO that Caymanian Artists have a voice that is important and necessary.” – Randy Chollette
