The Good Hope School Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit

The Eighteenth Annual Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit, St. Croix's most established and prestigious annual gathering of Caribbean artists, will be held during President's Weekend in February 2005. The Exhibit opens on Friday, February 18, 2005 with an Art Preview and Reception from 7 - 9 pm, which is one of the island's highlights.  The show is open on February 19th and 20th from 10 am - 4 pm and on February 21st from 10 am - 2pm.  There is no admission fee to view the show on the 19th, 20th or 21st, however a fee is charged for the opening night Art Preview and Reception on the 18th. This year's Exhibit is sponsored by American Management Solutions, LLC. 

The Exhibit will feature original artwork as well as prints, note cards, clothing, posters and jewelry from almost 80 Caribbean artists.  All artwork is for sale and a portion of the proceeds benefit The Good Hope School scholarship fund.

The Fine Art Exhibit is a successful show because the quality of the artwork is outstanding and patrons have more than 500 beautiful pieces, ranging from watercolors to oils to photos to sculpture, from which to choose.

Suzanne Yunker is the feature artist for the Eighteenth Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit.  The poster art, "Jump-Up Jumbies " is used to promote the exhibit. The posters are distributed throughout the community and sold as souvenirs for the local population as well as tourists.  The poster art is also used to produce an invitation for the Art Preview and Reception and the exhibit. 

The Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit significantly contributes to the enrichment of the St. Croix community and the artists involved.  It provides an opportunity to embrace the multi-cultural and varied ethnic backgrounds of our island.  After fifteen successful years, The Good Hope School Committee on Arts has earned a reputation for producing a professional, quality show which benefits everyone.
