Cayman’s 1st Biennial Awards Ceremony

The National Gallery welcomed Biennial artists and guests on 10 April for the inaugural Cayman Islands Biennial Awards Ceremony. The evening was designed to formally recognise four of the exhibiting artists- two awardees and two runners up – while ultimately celebrating all 42 of the participating Biennial artists and their exceptional work which forms the basis of the multi-site Cross Currents exhibition.
The award winners – along with the runners up in both categories – were presented with a beautiful award that has been designed and created by leading Caymanian sculptor Horacio Esteban.
Artwork by the four Awardees, along with works by all 42 exhibiting artists, can be viewed at the National Gallery until 06 June, 2019, at the Little Cayman Museum until 15 June, and at various locations in Cayman Brac. Admission to the Gallery is free. For more information about related programming visit   www.nationalgallery.org.ky/exhibitions

Art At The Airport

The Art at the Airport initiative is presented by the National Gallery for the reopening of the newly expanded Owen Robert’s International Airport (ORIA). It is designed to precedes the launch of a formal ORIA Public Art programme, which is currently being developed by NGCI in partnership with the Cayman Islands Airport Authority. Situated across several areas of the airport, the inaugural displays are drawn entirely from the National Gallery’s permanent collection and past exhibitions and includes artwork by nationally-recognised, award-winning artists and artisans.

Through excerpts of past National Gallery exhibitions, we have sought to explore key areas of Cayman’s visual heritage – maritime history, traditional thatch craft, architecture, and archival photography, as well as contemporary visual art.
