Tradewinds contributes financial sponsorship
All systems are go for MAC4, “An Art Exhibition” hosted by the Montserrat Arts Council, carded for December 2016. This will be the event’s second year, having had its inaugural opening December 2015.
The Montserrat Arts Council has again partnered with Tradewinds Real Estate, a major sponsor of MAC4 last year, which featured the work of four (4) Montserratian artists and received great reviews. Tradewinds Real Estate will contribute much needed financial support to the event.
Manager of Tradewinds Real Estate, Mrs. Susan MacLeod Edgecombe, remarked, “as a former Special Ed. and Art teacher, I firmly believe that providing opportunities for creativity at all academic levels fosters self-confidence. An artist plans, calculates, compares, dreams, experiments, and has failures as well as successes. It is all part of the journey into that special place where imagination and technique come together and are serendipitous. I am really pleased to again partner with the Montserrat Arts Council for the Festival 2016 art exhibition, and particularly happy that it will include pieces by the school children and MSS students. I look forward to a wonderful display of the many talented artists of all ages.”
Preparation for this year’s exhibition has already begun. One of the Montserrat Arts Council’s aims is to stimulate creativity and foster an appreciation for the Visual Arts especially in youth. This year, alongside the 4 featured adult artists, young artists will be included in the exhibition. Pieces from four (4) students from each school on island will be on display.
MAC4 will open on December 5th and run until the end Festival 2016.
