Moray House Trust is delighted to announce the launch of The Gallery at Moray House, an occasional art gallery and exhibition space to complement our existing programme of cultural work.
You are warmly invited to visit the inaugural exhibition, bat and ball.
We selected bat and ball as the theme for this first exhibition because it is an intrinsic part of local culture. Nearly everyone who has grown up in Guyana has played bat and ball at some point. Most of us have vivid memories of bottom-house or back-yard games of cricket, or games played in the park, the road, a bit of pasture or on the beach.
Dozens of artists answered our call to decorate simple homemade bats. These will be on display alongside a small selection of photographs of bat and ball, as played on a street, a beach and in the hinterland.
Many of the bats will be on sale for USD100. Sales will be on a first-come, first-served basis with payment in full required to seal a purchase.
The Trust can accept payment by VISA.
