November 2006
Kas di Arte presented the juried exhibition "Hommage aan de Bonairiaanse kunst" or Homage to Bonairean Art. The official evening opening will be November 8th and the exhibition will continue through November 26th. A total of 67 works representing 48 artists have been selected for this exhibition.

All local artists were invited to submit up to 3 works for the jurying process. In August 2006, 56 artists submitted 141 works for the jury's consideration. The actual artworks were dropped off at the Kas di Arte building so that the jury could get the full impact of all the work to make their choices. An evening open house was held so that the general public could view all submitted artworks as well. This event was very well attended and the public was asked to ballot vote for 3 of their favorite works.

The official jury for this Kas di Arte exhibition was the board of Kas di Arte including Jackie Bernabela, Elvio Cecila, and Wilna Groenenboom, plus two guest jury members: Frans Booi and Merieke Roozenburg-Postema.

Some artwork will be available for purchase. A portion of the purchase price will be donated to the Kas Di Arte Foundation.
