The work of 11 artists was showcased on Thursday when the Guyana Women Artists’ Association (GWAA) hosted its 31st Annual Art Exhibition, which was held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre at Liliendaal.
The work on display included paintings, sculptures, textiles, and various mixed media pieces, from artists such as Carol Fraser, Tara Bentick, Jennifer Gibson, Anna Correia-Bevaun, Keisha Pilgrim, Elodie Cage-Smith, Irene Bacchus-Holder, Denise Bristol, Elizabeth Hughes, Brandee Douglas-Bradford and Dawne Isaacs.
The exhibition, which was titled ‘Rhythm of our Journey II,” in contrast to previous years, ran for only one night. Fraser, who is the president of the GWAA, explained that it was due to not finding a location to accommodate the exhibition for the usual week. She said Castellani House was booked and while they had approached other locations, most were already booked considering that it is the holiday season. She explained that to avoid cancelling the event entirely, they approached the Minister of Public Telecommunications, Catherine Hughes, who agreed to let them use the conference centre for a night.
