The University of Guyana (UG) has had a long association with art, including literature, music and drama, like most tertiary institutions, but specifically with fine arts.
Some of this is historical, and cuts across academic, practical, critical recognition, and the work of staff and students. The institution’s contribution to art includes exhibitions, the output of resident artists, critical publications, inter-varsity exchanges, and academic programmes, as the association has even transcended national boundaries. The accounts show a robust track record in artistic involvement.
