Visitors to the National Park will be able to view all 6 paintings as they walk around the track. Each painting has two QR codes so that interested persons can scan and learn more about the artist who painted that image, or the Rotary Club of Demerara. Each painting also has an informational sign about the animal, including interesting facts and their conservation status.
Paintings will be displayed in the Park in the upcoming months. Current President of the Rotary Club of Demerara Indira Mattai noted that based on the number of submissions during the Club’s public call for artists, it is clear that there are so many unique artistic voices in Guyana, and the Club has been excited to provide a unique forum to display some of these.
Further, the Club has been happy to provide the public with an innovative and unique way to appreciate local art in a natural environment. The Club intends to repeat this initiative in the future and potentially expand to other forms of artistic formats such as photography.
The Rotary Club of Demerara would like to thank the Management of the National Park, Repsol Exploracion Guyana SA, and Shaw’s Media for their support in making this initiative a reality.
