In showing assistance to the St.Kitts Island and Nevis Island government we hope to gain more aid with greater efficiency and delivery. A number of agencies also showed tremendous interest in the geothermal energy project presently taking place here in Nevis. I have also been invited to Germany to have talks on the geothermal project,” said Premier Parry.

There is going to be a bright future for fine Arts in Nevis. That statement was made by Premier of Nevis the Hon. Joseph Parry on Tuesday March 25, 2008, while he officially launched the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation during a ceremony dotted with Nevisian folklore, dance and music at a ceremony which took place at the Nevis Cultural Center.

Mr. Parry said the establishment of the Foundation had become necessary to relieve Government from continually subsidising cultural activities. He said too that it would also be able to access regional and international funding for the development of culture and arts.

“This Foundation will be able to mobilise resources from public and private sector institutions. Additionally, the Foundation will bridge the gap between Culturama and culture, that is, we believe that culture and cultural activities should give the fillip to Culturama. The Foundation will ensure that there is no duplication of resources and staff and will maximise human and financial resources.

“There is going to be a bright future for the Fine Arts in Nevis and as you may know, there is money to be made from the arts, especially with its link to tourism. Cultural activities, masquerades, dance and drama will only boost our tourism,” he said.

In a recent article in the Herald Newspaper in St. Maarten, the company now undertaking the exploration in Nevis, has raised expectations to astonishing degrees for the geothermal experiment.
