Susanne Fredricks

Susanne Fredricks is a visual arts specialist who has highlighted the historic and cultural importance of Jamaica’s art sector. She has expressed concerns over the marginalisation of the arts in Jamaica, noting a significant decline in the sector over the past 15 to 20 years due to the closure of commercial galleries and a weak collector base. Fredricks advocates for the establishment of a private contemporary museum, the development of commercial galleries with international reach, and regional partnerships to elevate Jamaica's position in the global art world.
