Nestled in the trendy district of Redcliffe Quay, St. John's, Zemi Art Gallery captures the essence of traditional Antiguan and Barbudan art with a welcomed fresh approach.

Zemi Art Gallery contains some fabulous gems of art and handcrafted jewelry. It is much more than a souvenir shop. A great place to browse and out the local art scene.
2. Artcafe

5.0 based on 42 reviews
The ArtCafe is on Two Foot Bay Road about one mile out of Codrington village, and is a small cafe and craft shop and the home of artist Claire Frank. The ArtCafe also now has one room to rent on a 'home-stay' basis which is listed on airbnb or can be booked through the barbudaful website. Claire paints on silk and makes hand-painted t shirts and other crafts. The ArtCafe also has cards, maps and extensive information about Barbuda and the Caribbean, collected over many years, that you can browse through over a freshly ground coffee, a home-made ice cold drink or cocktails. Lunch is a one-dish special served from 12-2 most days, and we also have occasional happy hours on Friday or Saturday evenings. Claire cooks local food with fresh ingredients but if you would like supper you must book in advance, so it's best if you call the ArtCafe first to see what she has and plan your menu, especially if you want to try something special.

Whatever you are looking for, Artcafe is the place to go. Claire cooks up the most tasty local cuisines, delicious drinks, engaging conversation, gifts to commemorate your guaranteed great memories, and accommodations that are sure to please all wrapped up in beautiful surroundings! Cute outdoor seating areas tastefully decorated, animals, vegetable gardens, and a beautiful, hand-stacked rock bench overlooking the yard. We stayed several nights with Claire and her family during which time we were treated so graciously that we felt right at home. Claire took us on an island tour of the Codrington ruins, caves, and Two Foot Bay to see the wonderful revitalized park area. We saw wild stallions, wilderness, and everything in between with history and current events filled conversation! All in all, if you make the effort to go to Barbuda, you must include the Artcafe!

Cedars Pottery began in 1996 when Antiguan born ceramicist Michael Hunt returned to Antigua with his English wife and ceramicist Imogen Margrie. They collaborated to produce a range of hand thrown decorated tableware. The couple have been delighted by the response to their work.

Situated in the heart of the rainforest the Fig Tree Studio Art Gallery is shaded by giant silk cotton and royal palm trees. This gallery provides a fabulous opportunity to purchase original artwork directly from a variety of Caribbean artists. There is a wide range of paintings and crafts on sale, and this gallery is a must to anyone visiting Antigua.

This charming gallery has an interesting selection of Caribbean art, mostly local, and is set in a beautiful rainforest garden on Fig Tree Drive. Sallie, an artist and the owner, is friendly, helpful and clearly has a good eye for beautiful pieces. We have been several times and have taken friends, it is great for presents or an island memento. Easy to find and well worth the trip.

Took a trip to Fitches Creek to see Gilly’s home and art gallery. Situated on the east coast of the island, tucked away a little hidden gem of Antigua. Quaint traditional houses, brightly couloured, all neatly set out leading to the waters front. It is a little trip out to get there but great to see another part of the island you would not necessarily take in. Fitches Creek is just charming. The gallery is Gilly’s home and you are met by Rum and Ginger, two of Gilly’s dogs. They demand the obligatory stroke and attention before you can browse the wonderful collection of Gilly’s work.There is something of everyone, water colours, acrylics, canvas and paintings on wooden boards.Mostly inspired by Antigua scenes, fauna and wildlife. I chose 3 lovely watercolours and I can’t wait to get them home and up on the wall. It is a lovely experience going to an artists home and workplace, Gilly makes you feel very welcome.
