On Saturday, December 14th, Nigel Butler and a group of other artistes turned the Courtyard Mall into their own personal live-art gallery as part of their plan to bring more recognition to the creative industries.

Over eight artists participated in the event, called ‘Kayap,’ an Arawak word, which according to Butler, means coming together to accomplish one major task.

If you ever wondered how to make jewellery or carve fruits, the Courtyard Mall was the place to be. You would have also had the opportunity to witness sketch battles, painting charades and make ornaments at that event all while listening to folk songs by Gavin Mendonca.
