Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

CMCArts is pleased to be collaborating with Sonia Nahar Deane of the Cane Roots Art Gallery. This community collaboration is rooted in celebrating the right for our LGBTQ+ family and friends to be themselves and to live their lives as they choose.

For many years, CMCArts has been a proud ally and collaborator with the June PRIDE events and the STX Pride organization as well as hosting annual Pride exhibitions. The Pride exhibition opens the Dialogues on Freedom Series showcasing artists from the VI LGBTQ+ community, Puerto Rico and Cuba. We are honored to support everyone in their creative endeavors. Our work is rooted in freedom of expression empowering the voices of our entire community.

About the artist

Augustin Holder

American, Virgin Islands, St. Thomas

A native of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Augustin Kelvin Holder’s artistic development Holder's development began in the Caribbean and expanded through studies at the University of the Virgin Islands, and expanded further to the University of Alaska and the University of Hawaii. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and is collected widely.

Holder spent his adult life in New York. The Holder family [actor/dancer/musician Geoffrey Holder and painter/dancer Boscoe Holder] are prominent in the history of art, and [Augustin] Holder is following that footprint.

Holder’s artwork delves into his personal journey and documents the chronology of his life and the expression of humanity. Holder focuses on the diverse Caribbean identity with so many elements…divided yet connected by water and cultural legacies and heritages. |  |
