The opening of the Pool Art Fair Guadeloupe at the market hall of La Darse in Pointe-à-Pitre took place successfully on Thursday, July 1 despite the first effects (heavy rain and high winds) of Hurricane Elsa approaching the Caribbean Arc. The largest contemporary art fair in the archipelago is digital, since last year because of the Covid-19 epidemic.
