Sexypink - the Dame Lorraine made sustainable at Adam Smith Square. Every year you can see pockets of creativity creeping into the traditional masquerade to infuse it with freshness.

Stunning Sculptures Inspired by Grenada’s Carnival Characters Are Added to Underwater Installation

In 2006, British artist Jason deCaires Taylor founded The Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, a unique display of art that is submerged off the coast of Grenada. Recently, the underwater garden welcomed 27 new sculptures by Taylor and four by local artists, all of which are inspired by Grenada’s annual Spicemas carnival. This new collection is titled The Coral Carnival, and features an array of figurative works embodying characters from the carnival, some of which are even rendered in color.

It's my first time experiencing Carnival this year, and I must say nothing else can touch Traditional Carnival Characters. Very proud of the culture of T&T. Here's the Book Man.
