The Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts is pleased to announce its expansion to Charlotte Amalie.
After more than 30 years of serving St. Croix, CMCArts is slated to open a second location in the heart of Charlotte Amalie this year, marking a significant step in its mission to more widely serve the Caribbean by serving the entire Virgin Islands through arts education and the promotion of local arts and culture.
The venue will extend existing CMCArts programming to St. Thomas and will mirror the St. Croix museum store and exhibition gallery showcasing the voice of the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean and the diaspora. The expansion provides greater access to the organization’s exhibitions, educational initiatives, and cultural programming. CMCArts is looking for artists interested in selling their art and other locally made items in the museum store. Please contact 340-77-2622. ALL CREATIVES ARE WELCOME.
The new location will be housed within Fifteenandnine’s historic redevelopment at 15 Dronningens Gade, a revitalized Main Street property that blends heritage architecture with modern retail and community-focused space. Designed to support local businesses, artists, and creative enterprises, the development is part of a broader effort to restore Charlotte Amalie’s historic district while strengthening its economic and cultural vitality.
Fifteenandnine’s redevelopment emphasizes locally driven retail, walkable community spaces, and opportunities for cultural exchange—making it an ideal partner for CMCArts’ continued growth and commitment to the creative economy of the Virgin Islands.
CMCArts’ mission is to inspire and promote the Caribbean’s rich cultural and artistic heritage through engaging its diverse communities. This expansion reflects a strategic and mission-aligned effort to increase accessibility and visibility for Virgin Islands and Caribbean artists while deepening community engagement across the territory.
