Département des arts créatifs et festivaliers

The department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA) is a Department in the Faculty of Humanities and Education, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. The original Creative Arts Centre was established in 1986 through the initiatives of the late Dr. Pat Ismond, then Head of Literatures in English, with Rawle Gibbons as its Founding Director.

In 2006, the Centre became a department and continues to grow, offering courses and a place to explore the cultural expressions of Trinidad and Tobago and, by extension, the Caribbean through instruction in the creative arts at the highest level of academic, professional and technical accreditation available at, or through, The University of the West Indies.
