An impressive line-up of artwork by Gold Medal Awardees opened the JCDC Visual Arts Exhibition at Olympia Gallery on October 2. Running for two weeks, it was followed by the regional exhibition for Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Thomas, featuring artwork by silver and bronze medal awardees. Works included paintings, digital art, drawing, photography, fashion design, jewelry, fibre art, mixed media, ceramics, collage, and print-making. The Competition was open to artists islandwide from six years old and up, and entries were judged on craftsmanship, composition and cultural relevance. The Competition was record-breaking in terms of islandwide entries, with over submissions from every parish. The high standard of artwork from all categories was commended, and was described as reflecting the emergence of a new generation of talent in the visual arts.
