Renowned artist Jason deCaires Taylor, who created the first sculptures for the underwater sculpture park in 2006, contributed 25  of the sculptures in a collection titled The Coral Carnival. “The collection is steeply connected to the island’s unique culture and heritage, which includes sculpted pieces of the Jab Jab, Vieux Corps, Pretty Mas, Shortknee, and Wild Indian,  what makes this installation especially unique is the painting of the sculptures that reflects the vibrancy of Spicemas, which is a first for me in this terrain.”

Leading up to their underwater immersion, all the sculptures will be on display at Prickly Bay Marina until October allowing the public to visit and discover the artistry and creativity that flourishes in Grenada.

At the unveiling ceremony, Chairman of the Grenada Tourism Authority Randall Dolland, remarked, “This is a proud moment for Grenadians, as we can now boast of our Carnival and Folklore characters underwater. We anticipate increased social media attention surrounding the new additions upon successful installation, enticing visitors to experience these new cultural pieces.”        For more information  visit: www.puregrenada.com/
