CATAPULT, a collaboration between Kingston Creative and the American Friends of Jamaica, aims to provide support to artists across the Caribbean.

In our first year (2020), CATAPULT supported 1235 creatives in 26 countries in the Caribbean with a suite of programmes designed to provide financial support, increase visibility, and develop creative skills.

In our second year (2022), we aim to supported 300 Caribbean creatives with grants worth $500 USD and gave these creatives the opportunity to be showcased in the Caribbean Culture Netowrk; an open directory that the public can access to find, hire and easily partner with creatives for international and local projects. This programme offers much needed financial support to vulnerable artists, but also leaves a lasting legacy – a standalone Caribbean Artist directory.
