For those interested
in local art, a highlight of the St. Thomas experience
will be a visit to Tillett Gardens, a peaceful oasis which has
become a marketplace for local art and crafts featuring permanent
shops producing SILK SCREENED FABRICS, raku pottery, jewelry, candles,
herbs, local crafts, and
an ART GALLERY filled with the famous
Tillett prints and maps, as well as water colors, oils and acrylics
by local and Caribbean artists.
An integral part of
the Garden is the performing arts and to fill in this picture,
you will find two MUSIC studios featuring lessons in piano,violin
and voice. An outdoor theatre, accommodating 300 people, combining
seating in the Garden has a canopied
stage housing a grand piano and the adjacent building houses a
professional sound system. During the SEASON you can enjoy four
classical concerts and four non classical concerts - all performed
by top musicians from all over the world. This facility is also
available for rent for local events. Along with this outdoor theatre
is the newly renovated, completely air conditioned 200 seat PISTARKLE
THEATRE nestled in the GARDEN next to the ART GALLERY. Here is you
will find theatrical productions throughout the year and in between
performances, the THEATRE is available for local and GROUP CONVENTIONS,
MEETINGS AND EVENTS.
There is always a
happening in Tillett Gardens, resident artists at work, lessons
in the music studio SUMMER WORKSHOPS and CAMPS, special ART SHOWS
in the galleries, FESTIVALS, CONCERTS and RECITALS.
