Antigua and Barbuda 25th Independence

Visual Artistes Display Work For Independence
Unlike previous years, visual artists will have an opportunity to expose their work when the national Visual Arts Exhibition will take place.

According to Mark Brown who is assisting the Culture Department is coordinating the event, several artistes have been approached to be apart of the event and he is very please that most of the responses have been favorable and encouraging.

Brown said artists like Heather Doram, Mureah ‘The Mighty Artist” Brodie, Donalyn Parker among others have agreed to be apart of the exhibition. He further outlined that not only paintings will be on display but a few sculpture pieces and photography work, including photo guru Joseph Jones

National Visual Arts Exhibition, the first of its kind, was conceived to provide an avenue for visual artists to display their work to the public and it is hope that through this medium the opportunity artistes will gain additional exposure, thereby further developing this area as one of the niche market for the tourism sector. 

The exhibition will be held at the Antigua Barbuda Investment Bank on Redcliff Street and organizers say the facility was chosen as its one of the indigenous banks on the island and has a spacious customer service area while the esthetics support the overall image that the organizers are attempting to create.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday 27th October and will be available for viewing during banking hours. The exhibition will be closed to the public on 31st October.
