 In 2020, the Cultural Development Foundation honored him as St. Lucia's 2020 icon at its annual cultural icon series as an excerpt from that production. He was always a lead actor. That was his strength. He had a fantastic memory. And to be a good actor, you have to have a good memory so that you can explain and express it in a very convincing form. Ah, good morning, youngster. It's a damp, mournful walk through the forest, isn't it? And only the cheap of a bird to warm one makes the old bones creak. Bonjour, vehicle. My name is Tizio. Well, I can never forget about Jakes on stage. There were two little children who were supposed to be the offspring of the princess. And the princess is murdered in the play. The prince, which is played, a part played by Zinn, Zinn Thibbles, who was another famous arts girl actress. And when Jakes thundered out in one of his lines, the children started to cry. They were supposed to be dead. They were frightened out of, out of, from death. He won on the wall, I think, best supporting actor for that reason. And that was my first experience with Arthur Jacobs. Arthur Jacobs had a love affair with stone and wood. He was a self-taught craftsman and sculptor. Using salmon and mahogany found naturally in Zinn Lucia. Creating unique North American pieces, some of his commissioned work can be found in government of St Lucia offices, royal palaces, foreign diplomatic offices, and places of high esteem. As a sculptor, he created bronze bus for famous St Lucians, like Garnet Gordon, Louis McVein, and Dr. Carl Le Corbinier. He studied sculpting. He had gotten a scholarship, a fellowship to go to the United States. I think this would have been way back in the, oh boy, maybe early 70s, I'm not even sure. No, earlier than that, no, you've been earlier than that. I think, I'm not sure, to study. So you did sculpting. But I mean, you couldn't really make a living as a sculptor here. And so you went into making gravestones and plaques and that kind of thing. And also the clocks, you know, in shape of St Lucia and that kind of thing. And that's what he put his skills, the use that he put his skills to. But I've wondered on more than one occasion what his sculpture would have been like. You know, what it would have been like. And if he had really had the freedom to do it, you know, what that would have been like. Really phenomenal man, you know. As often the case with creatives, Arthur Jacobs' talent bled into music and theatre. He joined the St Lucia Art Guild in 1959 at the age of 22. Under the tutelage of Guild founders Roderick and Derek Walkett, Jacobs blossomed as an actor. In 2018, Mr Jacobs was awarded the St Lucia Medal of Merit Gold for his indelible contribution to the arts. The full Icon series featuring the life and work of Arthur Jacobs can be seen on NTN.
