Dance of Jouvert – Looking at Notting Hill Carnival 18

April 2018 will be an exciting start at Sunshine International Arts (S.i.A). With the continued support of the Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation funding programme we have funding to run the Community Arts Centre ‘Carnival Arts For Everyone’ (C.A.F.E.) as an NPO for another four years, 2018-2022! We are grateful for the Arts Council as well as all of your continued support to see Carnival Art grow in the UK.

Being one of the few Carnival Arts centres with an in-house designer in London, we are also the only Carnival community arts centre with a C.A.F.E. Inspired by the flavours and culinary wisdom of traditional Trinidadian culture, Community Arts For Everyone Reopens on the 11th April, dishing up favourites like the  Trinidadian Roti, Chicken, Goat, or Vegan Curry
