Part one of this article, two weeks ago, introduced us to CLM Publishing Ltd – how it started, how it grew, the accolades it has received over the years, and its celebration of Cayman writers and writings.
In 2008, the publication of the now popular “Christian Lifestyle Magazine” started with a bang!! It was well received in the Cayman community, especially among the Christian fraternity.
The annual Talent Xpositon of the Arts is an annual explosion of local talent, live at the Harquail theatre. There was singing, dancing, and music from many different artists, and it is always popular.
Summer for me has long been linked with reading! As a child, my friends would anticipate the long, hot, lazy days of summer for beach trips, to travel to other countries, to hang out with friends, or to indulge in a favoured activity that the demands of school had kept them from.
The New Self-Help Community Foundation will be presenting their 20th annual Talent Xposition of the Arts on Sunday, July 25th at the Harquail Theatre.
Last week saw a whirlwind of art gallery tours, pop up exhibitions and live showcases of art in action during the inaugural Cayman Art Week.
The quality, quantity and diversity of artwork produced on island is huge and perhaps not as widely known as it should be, so, in a bid to get more people buying local art, a new art initiative is taking place in July, Cayman Art Week.
It is difficult to truly put into words how fulfilling it was to witness Cayman do exactly what prompted me to start writing this column – celebrate local writers and writings – as the entire Island tuned into the Roy Bodden Symposium on June 24 and 25.
I am excited about the plans that are afoot for a true celebration of Cayman’s most prolific writer! In my humble estimation, this is a move in the right direction as we acknowledge that our local writers are putting our small society on the literary map.
Theatre should be “a process of deconstruction and reconstruction of self to continue to build society”, says Dr Frank McField.
