After first hosting the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) Visual Arts Exhibition 11 years ago, Guyana will once again host the annual showcase of Caribbean secondary school students’ best visual arts works beginning today.
A release from the Ministry of Education yesterday said that over 250 pieces of art including regional top award pieces will be on display during the one-week exhibition.
They will include pieces from all aspects of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Visual Arts programme: Drawing, Leather Craft, Graphic and Communication Design, Painting and Mixed-Media, Sculpture and Ceramics, Fibre and Decorative Arts, Textile Design and Manipulation and Print Making.
The exhibition will commence today at Castellani House in Georgetown and will run until Saturday 2 May, 9:00hrs to 17:00hrs daily.
The exhibition will also feature pieces of students from schools in Guyana, the release said.
“The CXC Visual Art Exhibition has become an annual feature on the calendar of CXC, and participating countries look forward to hosting the exhibition as it gives their students and the public the opportunity to view the very best art produced by former students,” explained Glenroy Cumberbatch, Registrar of CXC.
