Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister of The Arts and Multiculturalism, Winston “Gypsy” Peters thrilled the people of New York when he delivered a superb performance at the opening of the Big Apple Calypso Revue calypso tent, Fulton Street, Brooklyn on Sunday 29 August.

Over 20 artist representatives signed and delivered  the final figures of a Cultural Sector Masterplan for the National Budget to the Honourable Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar on Friday last. The submission of the document followed a presentation of the sector plan to the Prime Minister and 3 other Ministers including Minister of Finance Winston Dookeran on Tuesday. That meeting itself followed 2 months of meetings that artists have conducted with various Ministers in the People’s Partnership government. Artists met with Ministers Cadiz and Peters amongst others  in order to get a reform of a sector that worldwide is one of the biggest earners of revenue in the world- but in Trinidad has not been managed properly by successive administrations.

The Fashion Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FATT) will formally launch on Tuesday 14th September 2010 at 7:00p.m. at the Carlton Savannah.
