CSEC Visual Arts Exhibition next week

ST. LUCIA:  The exhibition displays the best work of the students over the past few years during the CXC exams.
The annual CSEC Visual Arts Exhibition will commence in Saint Lucia on Monday.
According to Carmelita Mathew CXC Local Registrar of Examinations, the last Visual Arts exhibition held in Saint Lucia was in 2005; thus the Ministry of Education and the Technical Vocational Education  Training (TVET) Unit are happy to see the event return to the island.
“We are excited to host, once again, the visual arts regional exhibition. It displays the best work of the students over the past few years during the CXC exams, including SBAs, and it serves to set a standard for other students who are attempting the examination. It gives them something to aim for, and to surpass.”
It is important, Ms Matthew added, that both students and parents attend the exhibition.
“We have had the experience where children want to do something in the creative arts and parents are a bit reluctant because they think it is a waste of time, so a showcase like this is encouraging. We would like to encourage parents to come in – especially parents of form two and form three students who are about to choose their subjects because they might feel inspired.”
The exhibition will be open to the public from 1 -3:30 p.m.  on Monday, April 25; and and from 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
The exhibition will be held at La Place Carenage in  Castries.
