The art market in Martinique   

However, as with many art markets in the Caribbean islands, the relatively small size of the local population can limit domestic demand for works of art, often making the market dependent on international visitors and buyers. Art festivals and special events can be key moments to attract these potential buyers. There are collectors on the island who often buy from galleries but face difficulties reselling their possessions in the event of an inheritance, a move or any other change that may occur.
