New arts grouping urged to push Guyana brand

Clay vessels sculpted and uniquely designed by President of the Guyana Creative Business Society Nicholas Young on display at the exhibition last evening.

The Guyana Creative Business Society, an umbrella organisation established as a representative body of all art forms in Guyana, was launched last evening at the Umana Yana.

Delivering the charge, Gillian Griffith-Edwards, of the Small Business Bureau, noted the importance of unity and formality for pushing the arts in Guyana and soliciting support from relevant stakeholders.

“… There is no mention in the sector breakdown of craft. No arts and craft. Why do you think that’s so? Is it because you’re insignificant? It is because you’re informal.
