This 2nd digital edition will take place from July 1 to 4 instead of June 24 to 27 as previously announced by the association Frère Independent, organizer of this great artistic event. The opening will be held tomorrow, Thursday, July 1 from 7:00 pm in the hall of La Darse market in Pointe-à-Pitre, in compliance with the barrier gestures imposed by this health crisis.
Like last year, a series of mini-exhibitions of works by artists who participated in the digital event will be displayed at the Art Ruche gallery-café located opposite La Darse market hall, at 6 quai Layrle, in Pointe-à-Pitre. Each week, the public will visit a solo or duo exhibition and meet the artists in person.
Following the first edition of the Pool Art Fair Guadeloupe in its digital version – launched in October 2020 due to the global Covid- 19 epidemic – the association Frère Independent expressed satisfaction with this first online and 3D immersion in contemporary art with 41 participating artists, 6,000 unique visits to the website for more than 200,000 interactions.
