Meeting on Saturday 31st October at 3:00pm Bay Gardens Hotel
A meeting to update the general membership on what we’ve been up to is scheduled for this Saturday, October 31st at the Bay Gardens Hotel from 3:00p. We’d really want to see you there as we are nothing without a membership. In any case we have lots to discuss including some activities for the next few weeks. So please make an effort to be there and to bring along a colleague.

Upcoming events
We will discuss a strategic planning meeting for the creative arts which is slated for the middle of November – the exact date will be confirmed shortly. But this meeting is to discuss a 2-3 year plan for action for the development of the creative industries. Addressing that meeting with be an OECS Export Development Unit officer who will advise on a range of matters including grant support for your creative projects etc. So that meeting will be very critical. The date will be announced shortly.

PACE is not for film only!
There’s been some concern that PACE exists to promote only the film and audio visual sector. This is not correct. PACE was born out of an initiative to develop a film industry but that mandate is being broadened to include all sectors of the creative arts. Our mandate is to engage all sectors ranging from fashion to arts and craft, music, even architecture – any field where intellectual property is used to generate income. The idea is to get those sectors talking to each other, develop a strategic plan for advancing the creative industries, lobby for policy and legislative support, and network with regional and international agencies.

Meeting on Saturday October 31st at 3:00pm Bay Gardens Hotel
