Art@Governors

On January 30th, 2010 over 100 artists, crafts people and designers will be demonstrating their talents at this year’s Art@Governors event, the islands’ premier art event held each year on the lawn of Government House. Co-hosts His Excellency Governor Mr. Duncan Taylor and Mrs. Taylor, and the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands invite everyone to attend this year’s event.

In the years since its inauguration in 2000, Art@Governors has become the only festival of its kind in Cayman to display such a diverse number of visual art forms from paintings, ceramics, sculpture and leatherwork to thatch work, body paintings, jewellery, quilts, photography and handicrafts. Visitors have a chance to meet seasoned and emerging artists one on one, to query their art processes and to participate in creating a work of art themselves. The event also gives visitors the opportunity to view the differences and similarities between the traditional heritage craft and the contemporary arts of the islands, and the ways in which one has inspired the other.

Join His Excellency Governor Duncan Taylor and his family and the National Gallery for an afternoon of artistic stimulation of all kinds on Saturday 30th January from 1pm to 5pm. The event is entirely free and all are welcome to attend.
