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.
