-Local artist, Ashley St Aubyn to host first art exhibition

FOR Ashley St Aubyn, art is a passion, an outlet for expressing oneself. The talented 24-year-old young woman, through great efforts, decided that she will host her first solo art exhibition – ‘Canvas Chronicles’.
Slated for July 27th and 28th, at the Umana Yana, on High Street, Georgetown, the exhibition will feature traditional and other forms of art to appeal to a vast audience.
This includes dance, poetry, steelpan, fashion as well as art displays by locally known and unknown artists.

According to the hostess, “The reason I started Canvas Chronicles is to showcase more of the arts. There is not a lot of art exhibitions going on; it seems like they might be going on but not a lot of huge exhibitions are going on; so, the purpose for this event is to bring light to more hidden artists,”

She stated that there will be over 20 artists in attendance and the funds raised at the event will contribute towards hosting free art workshops for children and other persons interested in learning the arts.
Although there is not a fixed date and location for the workshop, St Aubyn mentioned that it will target children aged 13 and older. Experts will be leading the workshop teaching various methods of art.
Tickets for Canvas Chronicles are being sold at the Brazo’s Giftshop (Movietowne), The Wine Vault (Marriott Hotel), or persons can download the Potsalt events app and make purchases for their tickets online. Tickets cost $5,000 and can also be paid on the day of the event.

Notably, tickets are inclusive of a cocktail, wine, finger foods and of course, the entrance into the events.
Canvas Chronicles is being sponsored by Banks DIH, Zoon, and The Wine Vault, just to name a few.
