Art & Culture on Saint Barthelemy : Art galleries

Multiple alliances between families, contracted for more than 150 years among the most authentic descendants of the island’s first inhabitants have contributed to keeping Saint Barth’s traditional heritage alive.

The few integrated foreigners mostly originate from European or American upper class families: artists, university graduates, businessmen. Retired from their jobs and society in general, they have chosen Saint Barth as a perfect Hedonist paradise for their late years.

Prior to the development of luxury tourism, history and life conditions in general (droughts, hurricanes) did not facilitate the maturation of an elaborate cultural tradition. Local handicraft is present, however, mostly in the form of the doll-house like architecture, the multicoloured little boats and objects weaved from latan leaves. Music is also an ever-present element, and visitors can often come across special bands which play local tunes on the occasion of bigger events. Enthusiasm concerning art has greatly increased with the appearance of the island’s new, luxury lifestyle.
