Art in Antigua and Barbuda began with the Arawak people, who inhabited the country before the arrival of Europeans.
The Arawaks produced the oldest works of art in the country, including petroglyphs and pictographs.
These artworks, which feature geometric shapes, animals, and vegetation, are believed to have been employed for religious or ceremonial purposes.
The topics of this art included social justice, the environment, and Caribbean identity.
[2][3] Antigua and Barbuda's traditional crafts include ethnic dolls, sculptures, pottery, photography, and scrimshaw.
