This week the National Gallery would like to invite you to make a nomination for the 2014 National Heroes Day Awards. This year’s theme is ‘Cultural Heritage’, a topic close to our hearts here at the National Gallery. For us, visual art is a fundamental part of our cultural heritage; it encourages dialogue, helps us create our national identity, and preserves our unique history. For more information on how to apply please click on the link below.

 

We would also like to invite you to, take advantage of our Maples Art Library, join our active volunteer community, and celebrate with us at our annual fundraising gala!

About Us

 

Established in 1996, the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) is a vibrant arts organisation that seeks to fulfil its mission through exhibitions, artist residencies, education/outreach programmes, and research projects.

 

The NGCI operates in both a local and global arena. As part of our mission to “promote and encourage the appreciation and practice of the visual arts, of and in the Cayman Islands”  we send Caymanian art and artists abroad as well as have many fine international artists visit, exhibit and work in the Cayman Islands.
