According to Mr Nourrice the objectives of the agency is to expose Seychellois artists to regional and international market, to raise and generate its own capital and funds, to create new opportunities to show, sell, record, publish and perform local art forms.

“As an artist I will like to tell all my fellow colleagues that this agency is not only mine but it is for all of us. I wish to welcome all ideas and constructive criticisms so that our agency can move forward. We want the agency to stay so that future artists can benefit too,” Mr Nourrice said.

During the launch ceremony several poets performed a piece of their work and guests were also able to view several local works on display in an exhibition.
