About
The International Caribbean Art Fair
ICAFair, a first-of-its-kind art fair exclusively for the representation of Caribbean Art, moves to a new venue, a new city, and new dates, offering the public a unique DC event. The Walter E. Washington Convention Center will be the fair's new home from September 11-13, 2009.
ICAFair provides exhibition opportunities to artists of Caribbean heritage and galleries representing these artists. The District of Columbia, with its many museums, diversity, great restaurants, large influential Caribbean community, three major airports, world-class METRO system, accessibility to hotels, parking, and more, offers attendees convenience and choice.
