Business Social

Kingston Creatives last week celebrated its 6th anniversary to much excitement at its hub in downtown Kingston.

The festivities, which featured a press conference and cake-cutting exercise, also treated guests to a private tour of its world-renowned Water Lane murals.

At the event held on February 28 at the F&B restaurant and cafe, the non-profit organisation founded in 2017, also used the occasion to announce the first 50 founders of the creative city. The founders comprising a number of private sector companies, government and international non-governmental entities such as the World Bank, European Union and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) were lauded for their respective support and partnerships delivered in cash or kind over the years. The Jamaica Observer was named among those announced.

Business Social was on location and captured highlights from the event which saw representatives from various entities coming out to celebrate with Kingston Creatives in their milestone achievement.

Andrea Dempster-Chung (right), co-founder and executive director of Kingston Creatives, chats with (from left): Tavia Benjamin, project manager at Kingston Creatives; Alando Terrelonge; and mayor of Kingston Delroy Williams about a mural on Water Lane.
From Left: Monique Edwards, assistant store manager for Sherwin Williams at Dunrobin Plaza and Kirk Morgan, store manager at Sherwin Williams’ Windward Road outlet, were present to share in the 6th anniversary celebrations. They are photographed at a mural of the late reggae icon Toots Hibberts along Water Lane in Kingston.
Exuberant members of the Kingston Creatives family, representatives from their 50 first founders and other stakeholders were all smiles during a photo captured in front of one of the murals on Water Lane on February 28.
From left: Romona Foster, content administrator for the Kulcha Connect app by Kingston Creative; Monique MJ Lawrence, marketing lead for Kulcha Connect; and Julie-Ann Ewart, project administrator of Kingston Creatives Crea Tech programme, share in a photo during an anniversary celebrations and annoucement event last week.
