The Cultural Icon Series is an inspirational project whose aim is to pay tribute to the visual artists, actors, dancers, writers, musicians and folk artists who wrote about, painted, composed and created a large part of the Saint Lucian identity, and share their histories, stories, experiences and work.
This honour will be reserved for those who have either a lifetime of substantial contributions or a shorter-term impact so impressive or ground-breaking that it warrants honouring.
This year, 2017, the Cultural Icon selected was Garth St. Omer – literary pioneer. The concert honouring the work of Mr. St. Omer took place on Monday October 2nd, at the National Cultural Centre and featured artists from various genres interpreting St. Omer’s writing through Dance, Theatre, Poetry and Music.
