WE LOVE THE CAYMAN ISLANDS NATIONAL GALLERY!

From The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands:

The mission of The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands is to promote the appreciation and practice of the visual arts of and in the Cayman Islands.

The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) is an inclusive gathering place which honours our artistic heritage, celebrates art and seeks to provide inspiring learning experiences for all of our diverse public.

Accordingly, we envision that our National Gallery will be:

• the country’s leading public visual arts organisation;

• an enriching, inclusive environment;

• committed to collecting and exhibiting works of art;

• a provider of innovative and creative educational programmes; and

• an environment that places Caymanian culture at the forefront, whilst embracing the diverse cultures and traditions of our global community.

Established in 1996, 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 having many fine international artists visit, exhibit and work in the Cayman Islands.\
