Local cultural group RT Performers says it has received three of four outstanding payments for performances at national events held more than six months ago.

Group leader Renee Thomas said members had been left “frustrated and demoralised” by the delay, despite repeated appeals to officials.

Following media attention, Thomas confirmed that most of the funds had now been paid, with one final payment expected soon.

Known for their vibrant portrayals of Antiguan and Caribbean traditions, RT Performers have been regular contributors to national celebrations, including Independence and Carnival events.

Thomas said the issue highlighted broader concerns about how the creative sector is valued and supported.
