New Home for the National Gallery To date over 2.2 million dollars (financial goal is 3.2 million) has been raised to realise the new National Gallery building slated for construction in 2010 on our site just off the Esterley Tibbetts Highway near the Harquail Theatre. Project manager, Jeremy Superfine of BCQS, architect Danny Owens of OA&D Architects, and NG Management Board Building Committee Chairperson John Doak, hope to have the building ready for occupancy by 2011. The larger facility will enable the gallery to host wider and more diverse types of functions and exhibitions than currently possible. The new Gallery will host a permanent display area for Caymanian Art, and it will provide for more comfortable facilities for tourists and local visitors thereby enhancing their experience and appreciation of Caymanian visual arts. The new facilities will also allow us to house our educational centre and classrooms on the same premises. Through its increased usage, our new home will enhance the profile of the National Gallery as one of the Cayman Islands' most treasured institutions. Corporations or individuals interested in contributing to the National Gallery building fund are able to name sections of the building, grounds, benches or trees in their company or family names. Please contact Natalie Urquhart, the Gallery director to support this great project. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
