We are pleased to announce that the second biennial Anguilla
International
Arts Festival will take place Sunday, July 25 - Sunday, August 1, 1999
here
on our beautiful island.
The programme for this exciting event is very extensive and includes a
choice of 4 in-depth workshops by qualified experts in oil & acrylic,
watercolour, pastel and stained glass. In addition, evening critiques of
participants' work, followed by demonstrations from the workshop leaders
will make the event a valuable and interesting learning experience.
Workshop leaders' biographies follow in this brochure.
The Arts Festival Board has put together 4 attractive packages for next
summer's "on-island" event from which to choose. We'll make your visit to
our island hassle-free, allowing you to maximize your participation in this
week-long sojourn. There will be lots of fun and interesting options as
well!
Details on these options and other free-time activity will follow in a
future mailing.
The culmination of the Arts Festival is the contest in February, 2000,
when participants' submissions are judged, with awards totaling US$15,000.
The February date allows ample time to complete submissions after returning
from the summer visit to Anguilla. Details and rules are included.
The registration form is attached. Please complete it in full, following
the guidelines in the Rules section and return to the Arts Festival along
with your deposit. Contact us using any of the addresses on the back of
this brochure.
Anguilla and the Caribbean inspires all artists. We look forward to having
you here for our exhilarating event in July, 1999!
Yours sincerely,
Courtney Devonish
