Lovers of Caribbean culture and the arts are taking advantage of the latest online source of information on the topic --- caribarts news --- a new monthly email newsletter, distributed free of charge, which offers articles and features on people and events in all arts disciplines, as well as news, opportunities listings and web links.

Publisher Marina Taitt and editor Ingrid Riley combined forces in September 2002 to start producing the newsletter, and the response so far has been enthusiastic and extremely positive. Readers come from across the region and many other parts of the world, and the newsletter's mailing list is growing steadily.

Taitt acknowledged, in a recent interview, "our gratitude to the many Caribbean artists who have so far given generously of their words and work" for coverage in the newsletter.

Visual artists whose work has been featured on the newsletter's cover include Joanna Brasch, Tafui and Corrie Scott; writers have included Kamau Brathwaite, Cherry Natural and others.

Caribarts news welcomes new subscribers and contributors, and invites persons interested in the arts and culture of the region to subscribe.

The newsletter is also seeking the sponsorship and funding which will enable it to continue to expose the work and concerns of the region's artists and to offer a regional perspective on Caribbean arts and culture.

For more information on caribarts news, or to subscribe, send an email to caribartsnews@caribarts.org and indicate the email address to which the newsletter should be sent.

The newsletter is distributed as an email attachment in pdf file format, and requires Adobe Acrobat version 4 or higher to open and read.
