The National Visual Arts Exhibition and Fair currently being held at Castellani House, Georgetown, aims to showcase the progress made in visual arts education, which has transitioned from the Allied Arts Unit to the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Unit.
The exhibition which kicked off on November 6 will run until November 16, and will highlight the various programmes under TVET, such as the Secondary Competence Certificate Programme (SCCP), Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ), and CXC Visual Arts.
This change emphasizes the preparation of students for careers in the arts, while addressing previous concerns about the relevance of art studies in relation to employment opportunities.
