The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) has been actively working towards the construction of a new building located along the Esterley Tibbetts Highway. Upon completion, the new facility will provide a home for school children, artists, teachers, researchers, archivists, seniors and students and the wider public of all ages, becoming the central education facility for visual arts in our islands.

The new facility is in its final phase of construction and NGCI staff is currently busy fundraising to close the remaining gap. With the majority of funds for the project having been raised privately the gallery has approached more than a dozen Cayman’s leading artists to donate works to the BIG ART AUCTION (not to be confused with the BIG ARTS GIVE—a separate NGCI fundraising initiative).

100% of funds raised will go directly to helping close the NGCI Capital Fund. The donating artists have been invited to tour the site that the sales of their works will benefit.

The works donated will be on display at the National Gallery for three weeks leading up to the BIG ART AUCTION on 24^th November–the last day the National Gallery will be open to the public in its current location.
