<p>&#8220;Our Artist Discovery Program is a testament to how Royal Caribbean creates culturally immersive experiences for guests, connecting vacationers of all ages with the destinations we visit around the world,&#8221; said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean. &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to expand the program to include emerging artists from Central America alongside the Caribbean and increase the number of locations for large-scale murals on <em>Legend </em>from four to six, creating more opportunities for artists to highlight the diverse destinations we visit through their work.&#8221;</p>
<p>Selected artists will be commissioned to paint large-scale murals that will create a visually immersive experience for guests in six highly visible locations on board <em>Legend</em> including: the <strong>Royal Promenade</strong> neighborhood, <em>Legend</em>&#8217;s <strong>embarkation area</strong>, the <strong>Suite Sundeck Lobby</strong> and <strong>Suite Sundeck</strong>. Redefining how art lives, moves and inspires at sea, the program will celebrate the creative spirit of the Caribbean and Central America.</p>
<p>Artists interested in joining the Artist Discovery program must submit:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Five samples of conceptual work: The work must be original and may not currently be published or on display.</li>

<p>The next cohort of budding artists will join those whose work has appeared on <em>Icon of the Seas</em>, <em>Star</em><em>of the Seas</em> and at the vacation brand&#8217;s newly opened exclusive destination Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, The Bahamas. The Artist Discovery Programs on <em>Icon </em>and <em>Star </em>highlighted artists from the Caribbean emulating the rhythm and vibrance of the region, while the program at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island exclusively showcased local Bahamian talent, capturing the unique energy and spirit of The Bahamas.</p>
<p><em>Legend </em>will level up European summers in 2026 with 7-night Western Mediterranean adventures from <strong>Barcelona, Spain</strong>, and <strong>Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy</strong>. The bold adventures on board continue on shore, whether it&#8217;s stepping back in time at Rome&#8217;s Colosseum, feasting on flavors from the fishing villages of <strong>Provence (Marseille), France</strong>, or diving into the local cultures of <strong>Naples, Italy</strong>, and <strong>Palma De Mallorca, Spain</strong>. In November 2026, <em>Legend</em> will make its grand Caribbean debut in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with 6-night Western Caribbean getaways and 8-night Southern Caribbean vacations to the beaches of <strong>Oranjestad, Aruba</strong>, and <strong>Willemstad, Curacao</strong>.

<p>Representing countries across the Eastern and Western Caribbean, artists from <strong>the Dominican Republic</strong>, <strong>Jamaica</strong>, <strong>Trinidad and Tobago</strong> and <strong>Haiti</strong> were selected during the second round of the program. Each artist will receive a grant amount between $20,000 and $100,000 to conceptualize and create<strong> a custom, large-scale mural</strong> that represents the local culture, experience and spirit of their home country. The artworks will be displayed across four highly visible locations on the Icon Class vacation, including the <strong>Royal Promenade</strong> neighborhood, <em>Star&#8217;s</em><strong>embarkation area</strong>, the <strong>Suite Sun Deck lobby</strong> and <strong>Suite Sun Deck</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are excited about the overwhelming positive response we received from the next edition of the Artist Discovery Program,&#8221; said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer, Royal Caribbean. &#8220;Collaborating with the places we visit is at the heart of what we do and who we are at Royal Caribbean. Whether its hosting guest roundtables or hiring locals from our destinations around the world, it&#8217;s important to us to collaborate and connect with the communities we operate in. This year&#8217;s selection is special, and we&#8217;re thrilled about the vibrant, beautiful and cultural murals that&#8217;ll be on <em>Star of the Seas </em>for years to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>Over several months, the vacation brand reviewed nearly 180 applications from across 28 Caribbean countries. Candidates were required to submit unpublished conceptual artwork, a professional resume and a personal statement expressing how their artistic passions, life experiences, cultures and future aspirations inspire their artwork.</p>
<p>The Artist Discovery Program aims to spotlight up-and-coming local artists in the Caribbean by providing a platform for them to showcase their artwork and increase visibility while celebrating the places and people that make Royal Caribbean vacations the vacations of a lifetime. The program was first introduced on <em><a style="COLOR: blue" href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4438121-1&amp;h=659770921&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.royalcaribbean.com%2Fcruise-ships%2Ficon-of-the-seas%3Fecid%3Dpr_int_pblc_r_wb_3338&amp;a=Icon+of+the+Seas" target="_blank">Icon of the Seas</a></em> and has since been a well-received and highly anticipated initiative both on board and at the vacation brand&#8217;s exclusive destinations, including <strong><a style="COLOR: blue" href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4438121-1&amp;h=3290748535&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.royalcaribbean.com%2Fcococay-cruises%3Fecid%3Dpr_int_pblc_r_wb_3338&amp;a=Perfect+Day+at+CocoCay" target="_blank">Perfect Day at CocoCay</a></strong> and <strong><a style="COLOR: blue" href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4438121-1&amp;h=185921922&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.royalcaribbean.com%2Froyal-beach-club%2Fparadise-island-nassau&amp;a=Royal+Beach+Club+Paradise+Island" target="_blank">Royal Beach Club Paradise Island</a></strong>, set to debut December 2025 in The Bahamas.</p>

The program aims to celebrate the destinations and people that make vacations with Royal Caribbean the vacation of a lifetime.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are excited for this next edition of The Artist Discovery Program and can&#8217;t wait to be awestruck by visionary artists across the Caribbean. Last year, our first-ever call to artists received an overwhelming response with more than 140 artists across 25 Caribbean countries submitting pieces that told a unique story and captured the allure of the region,&#8221; said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer, Royal Caribbean International. &#8220;Our goal is to connect our guests to the enduring beauty and creativity of the Caribbean, and this immersive program is a pathway to celebrating and exploring local culture while onboard the next Icon of vacations – <em>Star of the Seas.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The <strong>Artist Discovery Program&#8217;s</strong> next group of budding artists will be commissioned to paint large-scale murals in four <strong>highly visible locations including</strong> the <strong>Royal Promenade</strong> neighborhood representing the heartbeat of the new vacation, <em>Star&#8217;s </em><strong>embarkation area </strong>which will be among the first sights guests see, and in the <strong>Suite Sundeck Lobby, </strong>and <strong>Suite Sundeck</strong>. Joining a collection onboard that includes an array of pieces created by local artists and inspired by the region, each creation will invoke the vibrancy of the Caribbean.</p>
<p>Every artist will receive a grant from the vacation company, ranging from $20,000 to more than $100,000, to see their vision through. As artists in residence, the winners will work closely with the Royal Caribbean&#8217;s team later this year to bring their concepts to life in Turku, Finland, where <em>Star </em>is currently under construction.</p>
<p>Artists interested in joining the Artist Discovery Program must submit:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Five samples of previous works: The work must be original.</li>

<li style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">A copy of their CV / resume.</li>
</ul>
<p>This year&#8217;s selected artists will join the 2023 inaugural cohort that created iconic murals that are featured throughout <em>Icon of the Seas</em>. The distinguished artists in-residence include Angelika Wallace-Whitfield in The Bahamas; Phillipe Dodard in Haiti, and Jason Hospedales in Trinidad &amp; Tobago.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>CaribPR Wire, BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Fri. Feb. 18, 2022: </strong>The popular annual <a href="https://cafafair.com/">Caribbean Fine Art Fair, (CaFA)</a>, now in its 12<sup>th</sup> year, returns virtually and in person to Barbados this March, with a spotlight on the works of over 40 Caribbean contemporary artists and a focus also on the hot topic of NFTs.</p>
<p>Art fans from across the world will be able to join CaFA 2022 at the NORMAN CENTRE, Broad Street in Bridgetown, Barbados, and without leaving their homes at <a href="https://www.caribbean.global/">caribbean.global/</a>, from March 9th-23<sup>rd</sup>.</p>
<p>“This year&#8217;s CaFA Fair Barbados presents a balanced selection of emerging and internationally known artists representing 14 Caribbean nations, Brazil, Ghana, the USA and the UK,” said CAFA executive director Anderson M. Pilgrim. “We are excited about our programming featuring an array of regional experts and talent.”</p>
<p>“With the incredible growth and interest in Caribbean Fine Art, the opportunity to present a broader vision of the cultural creativity from the region grows as well,” added Daniel Hort, the Executive Director of Onomatopoeia Art and a co-producer of the event. “This year’s presentation of costume designs by the renowned Barbadian artist Winston Jordan, offers a glimpse into the career of a national icon while providing the chance work with major pageant and fashion outlets to present the colors, style and artistry of carnival.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px; margin: 1.33em 0px 0px;">
<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ &#8212; The Engage Art Contest announces its winning artists for their 2019-2020 contest. The contest, open to artists in North America, featured four categories—Visual Art, Music Video, Film and Performing Arts—and drew more than 1,000 submissions from 24 countries. Each category was juried blind by a panel of experts in that field of the arts. Cash prizes total $100,000.</p>
<p>The Engage Art Contest is the creation of art appreciators and philanthropists, Bill and Linda Bantz of North Carolina. Bill felt a strong calling from God to re-introduce artists to a time-tested source of inspiration —the Holy Scriptures. For centuries, artists such as Bach, Mozart, Chagall, Dali and Matisse have been inspired to create works based on Scripture. Bill and Linda feel that now is the time for this generation to draw on this source and contribute a contemporary take.</p>
<p>The topic of this contest is the Spiritual Battle as described in Ephesians 6:10-20, with each artist asked to explore this spiritual dynamic from their own viewpoint. In truth, the theme is universally relevant and evergreen, and it provides fodder for a broad array of artistic response.</p>
