The Rotaract Club of Georgetown on Friday held a public art showcase at the Giftland Mall for its pilot environmental art project, which challenged secondary school students to illustrate this year’s World Environment Day theme, “Connecting People with Nature.”
Eleven pieces were on display from students of the St Joseph High School, South Ruimveldt Secondary School, the Bishops’ High School, Saint Stanislaus College and Christ Church Secondary School.
Although the competition was open to students 11-17 years-old in secondary schools across Georgetown, only five schools made the deadline for entry. The entries were judged by June Ann Payne, Lori Ann Jacobs and Michael Khan, representatives from the ER Burrowes School of Art and the University of Guyana.
