OUR IMPACT​

​

HOC is expected to play an important role within the community. Caribbean expressions has become an integral part of the summer events in major countries. When considered in light of its cultural traditions, Caribbean carnivals and events are measured by the numbers in attendance and its economic impact. But more importantly its ability to consistently showcase the Caribbean’s multicultural heritage.

​

Our vision is to harmonize the community and represent togetherness through the establishment of opportunities for creative practitioners to work in environments that showcase the rich talents and expressions in an effort to align themselves to achieve the level of success and recognition in mainstream industries.

​

This participatory involvement defines an important cultural aspect of our heritage by showcasing the artistic excellence of the Caribbean while passing on our heritage to the younger second and third generation of immigrants who are not acquainted with their historical background and ancestral culture.
