Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to announce the completion of Issue 5 of the Open Arts Journal, an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Open University, UK.
Edited by Leon Wainwright (Open University) and Kitty Zijlmans (Leiden University), Issue 5 takes the theme 'Sustainable Art Communities: Creativity and Policy in the Transnational Caribbean'. It brings together academics, artists, curators and policymakers from various countries in the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean and their diasporas to explore how the understanding and formation of sustainable community may be supported by art practice, curating and museums.
The entire collection is available now at:

This themed issue was developed through major public events at the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam and Rivington Place (Iniva and Autograph ABP), London, and produced a large series of video clips featuring speakers' presentations and audience discussion which accompanies the Journal publication. Its background is a two-year international research project led by Dr Leon Wainwright and Co-Investigator Prof. Dr. Kitty Zijlmans, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO/Humanities), with additional support from The Leverhulme Trust.
You may also be interested to read back issues of the Open Arts Journal, subscribe to our mailing list, or write to our editors with responses and suggestions for future themed issues.
Wishing you an enjoyable read!
