About us
CultureMix Arts and Music is based in Berkshire, in the Thames Valley heart of the South East. The company was formed in 1987 by artistic director Mary Genis to promote creativity and encourage participation in music and arts. Our focus is on carnival and young people in partnership with creative professionals.
CultureMix Arts has its roots in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. A culture embracing the creativity of costume, masquerade and calypso music throughout its communities.
We warmly welcome you to our web site. Please visit us regularly as we will be frequently adding new information to provide the ultimate experience in carnival music and arts.
