The Culture Ministry, in collaboration with the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T) Company, has launched the first of a three-part series of coffee table books cataloguing the country’s National Collection of paintings.“Panorama: A Portrait of Guyana” features paintings and craft done by local artists. These artworks were taken from the National Collection of Art housed at the National Gallery in Castellani House.
GT&T has committed some $10 million, over a 3 year period, to digitalise the National Collection, and publish the resultant catalogue as a series of books, which will foster wider appreciation for local arts.
