For you festival watchers out there, please keep in mind that the biggest, the grand-daddy, of all festivals will be happening in Guam in 2016. I know it is still two years away, but mark your calendars! This event takes place every four years. It is like the World Cup of festivals that brings together artists and cultural practitioners from around the Pacific region for two weeks of festivities.
Oh, and there is a theme in place: Festival Theme – “WHAT WE OWN, WHAT WE HAVE, WHAT WE SHARE, UNITED VOICES OF THE PACIFIC”

As you may recall, the 2012 Festival of Pacific Arts took place in the Solomon Islands.

About islandculturearchivalsupport
Island Culture Archival Support (ICAS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of records pertaining to the cultural identity of island peoples in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia whose national and public archives, libraries, cultural centers, and business organizations are underprivileged, underfunded, and understaffed.
The specific purpose for which this nonprofit corporation was formed is to support the needs of these South Pacific cultural heritage institutions by helping to preserve and make accessible records created for business, accountability or cultural purposes. The organization will endeavor to add value by providing resources or volunteers to advise, train, and work among island residents to support their efforts in building their future and preserving their collective memory through the use of modern archival techniques.
