THE CULTURE OF THE TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS

The Culture of the Turks and Caicos Islands
Local artists in the Turks & Caicos Islands thrive on the beautiful land and seascapes as themes for their paintings, sketches and drawings. The colorful characters of the natives also offer lots of subjects for the creative artist.
Oil and watercolors are the two most widely used techniques of the local artist. With the colorful influence and broad styles of our neighbors, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, a new style of Turks & Caicos art is emerging to further define the scenes, themes and subject matter for young and upcoming artists as they capture the culture on canvas.
Phillip Outten, June Taylor and Ianthe George are three prominent local artists whose works standout and find their way on to the walls of many homes and businesses on the Islands and abroad. The Bamboo Gallery on Providenciales, offers a wide range of local and Caribbean pieces for sale and both Phillip Outten and Jean Taylor own and run their own art galleries and welcome one and all to visit and view their works.
The art of basket weaving, plaiting palm leaves for straw hats, net making, binding mosquito brushes, and weaving fanner dishes and bowls is very much alive in the Turks and Caicos
