Culturama, Nevis’ premier culture festival since 1974, recorded its first profit in almost 10 years, a feat Minister of Culture in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Hon. Hensley Daniel said was achieved through prudent financial management. He made the disclosure on Wednesday November 14, 2007 at a sitting of the Nevis Island Assembly in Charlestown.
 
“Madame President the financial management of the festival is one of great concern and has been for many years and I seek therefore to report to this Assembly that based on the expenditure and income for Culturama 2007, there is a net profit for Culturama 2007.
 
“We [Nevis Reformation Party led NIA] have done this by bringing improved management and efficiency to bear on the festival and with our collective engagements, we have been able to turn from red into black. This year the government will not have to find additional money to pay for losses incurred by Culturama 2007,” he said.
