The week of Monday, 25 March 2013, GIS Spotlight targets the economy, revisits an exciting new cultural festival and an annual art fest in the Governor’s front yard.

Accurate statistics are the backbone of proper economic planning. On GIS Spotlight, join us in acknowledging this and see two vital economic surveys take off.  Learn how the System of National Accounts and Balance of Payments surveys gather accurate data and help us plan for the future.

Hear from experts why and how the surveys will help Cayman retain its business edge and how you can contribute. Learn how surveyors will protect your confidential business information.

Next, we revisit the Harquail Theatre to enjoy Red Sky at Night, an offering from Cayman National Cultural Foundation (CNCF) that recently drew hundreds of persons young and old to the grounds of the Harquail Theatre. View the different activities at the popular event. Jump into action on a catboat and hear about plans for further events.

Finally this week, we stop at this year’s Art @ Governor’s show, which showcased some of the best new art produced by local arts and crafts workers and schoolchildren. Discover why this whirl of talent and colour gains in popularity each year, and is now a premier event in the annual arts calendar.
