Established in April 1, 2002 (CDF ACT OF 2000), as the agency responsible to align the aspirations of cultural and creative individuals, groups, communities, policymakers and civil society through the implementation of the National Cultural Policy of Saint Lucia, we work to sustain tradition and foster innovation in all forms of cultural expression.CDF exists to champion both the business and the celebration of authentic Saint Lucian culture. Our raison d'etre is to inspire and empower our people and our communities to become confident and accomplished ambassadors, delivering Saint Lucia's compelling creative and cultural proposition to the world.The CDF offers a growing programme of training that spans all genres of the arts and cultural practices and seeks to build a catalogue of courses with recognized certification, that will enable practitioners to be well placed to access further education, employment or become cultural and arts entrepreneurs.As part of our mandate we conceptualize and run a variety of shows and festivals that celebrate the arts and culture of Saint Lucia and provide forums for promotion of up and coming artistes as well as the masters.We are a statutory body formed by Act of Parliament; Our funding comes from Government Subvention supplemented by grants and corporate sponsorship, earnings from facilities rentals and individual support. We welcome enquiries from artistes and arts developers who would like to support our work or access our programmes.
