The support provided by the NGJ, the EMC and occasionally, the Mutual Gallery is not enough to counter bit. Artists will have to explore and create their own opportunities if they want to do these things here. That being said, Jamaica has a thriving media industry which should/could have some investment/interest in new media art. Perhaps there are some opportunities there.
