Grenada Tourism Authority unveils “Coral Carnival” at Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park

The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) has announced the completion and installation of a visionary project that promises to redefine Grenada’s underwater landscape. 

Spearheaded by renowned sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, a total of 31 captivating underwater sculptures have found their home at the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, introducing an entirely new dimension of artistic expression and environmental stewardship to the pristine Caribbean waters.

Celebrating Grenada’s cultural legacy

Dubbed the “Coral Carnival,” this ambitious initiative pays homage to Grenada’s vibrant cultural heritage and its deep-rooted traditions. 

Inspired by the exuberant characters of traditional carnival and folklore, these mesmerizing sculptures now grace the ocean’s depths, forming a spellbinding underwater gallery that beckons explorers from around the world. 

The Coral Carnival is a harmonious fusion of artistic ingenuity and environmental consciousness, underscoring Grenada’s unwavering commitment to preserving its precious coral reefs and marine ecosystems.

Randall Dolland, CEO of GTA, applauds the expansion

Randall Dolland, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, expressed enthusiasm about this significant development. 

“We are delighted to announce the addition of these 31 stunning sculptures to the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park. This expansion not only enhances the visitor experience but also deepens our connection to the rich cultural tapestry of our nation. It reinforces our dedication to sustainable tourism and marine conservation,” he said.

Shining spotlight on Molinere’s new era

The installation of these 31 captivating sculptures marks a momentous turning point in the history of the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park.

 Local, regional, and international media outlets have been quick to shine a spotlight on this remarkable addition, further solidifying its status as a must-visit destination for enthusiasts of art and marine exploration. 

Additionally, the GTA has overseen the implementation of 19 designated moorings within the marine protected area. 

These color-coded moorings serve a dual purpose, accommodating an influx of vessels expected as tourism officials anticipate a surge in visitors, all while ensuring the protection of the delicate underwater environment by prohibiting anchoring in the area.
