Join us at the National Gallery; Bringing the Past to Life

 

Greetings!

 

There are only five weeks left to view the temporary exhibition Images of Yesteryear, now showing at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands. The fascinating photographs are stimulating interesting discussions in relation to the history and culture of the Cayman Islands and are bringing the past to life, particularly for our younger generation.

 

We hope to see many of you over the next couple of weeks and highly recommend local schools and youth groups of all ages to take advantage of the exhibition by booking free guided tours led by our Gallery educators.

 

To find out more about our guided tours email [email protected] or call us on (345) 945 8111.See you at the Gallery soon!

 

Sincerely,

 

Natalie Urquhart

National Gallery of the Cayman Islands

 

Established in 1996, the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) is a vibrant arts organisation that seeks to fulfil its mission through exhibitions, artist residencies, education/outreach programmes, and research projects.

 

The NGCI operates in both a local and global arena. As part of our mission to “promote and encourage the appreciation and practice of the visual arts, of and in the Cayman Islands” we send Caymanian art and artists abroad as well as have many fine international artists visit, exhibit and work in the Cayman Islands.
