Top Things to do in Antigua
What to do and see in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda: The Best Art Galleries
Antigua has hundreds of beaches, from the bustling Pigeon Point to the kitesurfing paradise of Jabberwock Beach. It's fun to mix it up—a day spent in a secluded cove, another spent people-watching at a tourist magnet. When you’re tired of sun and sand you can shoot ‘em up at Reservoir Range, where archery and air pistols are a fun way to work out any lingering pre-vacation stress. A tour of the Antigua Distillery is a spirited way to experience a true taste of the island.

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.

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.

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.

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.
