Donors 2020 has forced us to be even more creative. We are persiting in spite of all! Your support is key. Please continue your donations.

In July we had our annual art programme "Growing Young SVG Artists," in one location, the Kingstown area. We did not organize it in the other three rural locations on account of Covid -19.

For the first time since the programme has been organized. I was not physically there to help run it.

This year the focus was "Trees". The children grew trees, adopted trees, made family trees and even a wishing tree. Both the children and parents were happy with the planned activities.

On Saturday, August 15 the second annual women's show "Vincy Women Artist Now 2020 " Show opened at the Youlou Art Centre.

This show was well attended and several paintings have sold. The show ends November 20/2020. During the month of October we are planning to invite school children to come and see the show.

Now that children are back at school we are busy promoting the Saturday morning art class for children age 5 to 12.

We are also making plans for 2021 and hoping for a great year.

We know the times are stressful, the arts are needed more than ever.

The need to console and comfort through the arts is of utmost importance.

Donors I am appealing to you to give us your financial support.
