Youlou Arts Foundation is taking a giant step forward. Currently we are in the midst of preparing a space to establish an Art Centre and Gallery. We are in a heightened state of excitement! The organization has been dreaming and fund raising towards and yes praying for this to become a reality and finally it has come to be!
Youlou Arts Founation was given the opportunity to rent a space in a very desirable spot, in the heart of the tourist district. We have been wanting to do this for several years and feel very fortunate to be renting in such a beautiful spot.
Youlou Arts Foundation believes the time is right for a dedicated Art Centre and Gallery to serve St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Currently, there is a lack of appropriate venues where local visual artists can showcase their work or where visiting exhibitions can be displayed. In addition there are no educational institutions specializing in offering art classes to children, and adults.
Youlou Arts Foundation plans to continue to giving visual arts classes to children, which we have been doing for the past 16 years, and now to adults as well. The space will also be used as an art gallery where local and visiting artists can display their work. There are plans to also have an art shop and cafe on the premises.
At the moment we are busy painting and putting things in place. We are planning to publicly launch the Art Center and Gallery on Saturday, March 4th 2017. It will be the first time St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) will have a space dedicated to the visual arts.
I am truly excited about having an Art Centre for beautiful SVG. I can say in all honesty, we have worked very hard to get this far!
Donors I know you have given me your full support through the years and now I am reaching out to you, asking for your financial support to ensure this project does get a good start. We are asking you to give us your full support for this project.
