CultureMix Arts and Music is based in Berkshire, the Thames Valley heart of the South East. The company was founded in 1987 by artistic director Mary Genis to promote creativity and encourage participation in music and arts.
CultureMix Arts has its roots in the African Caribbean culture, from the steel pan music and carnival masquerade of Trinidad and Tobago, dance from Cuba and Brazil and Jamaican reggae music.
As a not for profit organisation our focus is on the professional development of young people seeking a career in the creative industries. Our internship and work experience programme offers training in business, finance, teaching and event management. All profits are reinvested into training and education to improve employment opportunities for young people in the future.
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 Caribbean carnival, arts, music and dance.
