CARIBBEAN ARTS FORUM

Anthony’s Cari‑Jazz Publishing Limited is a private, not‑for‑profit organization dedicated to finding, supporting and promoting Caribbean creativity in all its forms. Through the Caribbean Arts Forum, Cari‑Books and Cari‑Jazz, we bring together writers, musicians and visual artists under one umbrella to share stories, sounds and images from across the region.

Our mission is to advance Caribbean arts and culture worldwide, with a special focus on Caribbean jazz and the artists who shape it. We highlight new and established voices, create space for collaboration, and connect audiences with the richness of Caribbean expression.

Across our platforms, you’ll find features such as Artiste of the Day, PANJAZZ Tuesday, KAISOJAZZ Saturday, Artistes of the Week and This Week in Caribbean Jazz, alongside book‑focused and arts‑focused content that celebrates the depth and diversity of Caribbean life.
