Free entrance is being offered to artists, photographers, poets and writers to the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary December 3-12, 2008. In exchange, artists are asked to share their interpretations of the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary and the RAMSAR Wetland with the Sanctuary and the nonprofit organization working to save it.

The Sanctuary’s owner, Peter Allard, has announced that the Sanctuary will close on December 15, 2008. “Peter Allard asked us to open the Sanctuary so that Barbadian artists can produce expressions and archives for the historical record,” said Harry Roberts, General Manager of the Sanctuary. Allard supports the arts in North America and Europe.
