A Day In The Life III: Artist-in-Residency programme and exhibition
Dates: * Artists-in-residency 31st May 2010 - 10th June 2010 ADILII I * Solo Exhibition - Members Preview 11th June 2010
The National Gallery's artist-in-residency programme and exhibition ‘A Day in the Life' returns to the Gallery in June and, once again, three popular local artists have been invited to transform the Gallery into their working studios before mounting the completed works into three curated solo exhibitions.
This year's selected artists are Avril Ward, a well-known veteran of the Caymanian art scene having exhibited widely on the island and abroad; ‘Native Son' Gordon Solomon, widely acknowledged as one of the country's finest talents to have emerged in recent years; Renate Seffer, known for her vibrant, often humorous work.
The concept behind this unusual exhibition ism modelled on a traditional artist-in-residency programme that aims to allow the artists space to explore and experiment with their art, without the pressures of producing commercially viable work. It will follow a ‘no rules' policy offering the artists complete creative freedom.
