The story

Amerindian Heritage Art Exhibition in Georgetown

An annual September exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Castellani House in Georgetown, showcasing paintings, carvings and mixed-media work by Indigenous Guyanese artists as part of Amerindian Heritage Month, distinct from the month's craft and food markets and framed explicitly as fine art rather than saleable handicraft.

Paintings and carvings by Indigenous Guyanese artists fill the National Gallery of Art at Castellani House in Georgetown each September, when the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs partners with the gallery to stage its Amerindian Heritage Art Exhibition.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Held inside Guyana's national art gallery rather than a market hall, the exhibition treats Indigenous work as fine art on equal footing with the country's broader permanent collection, and recent editions have paired painting and sculpture with a pop-up fashion show built around Indigenous design, extending the showcase beyond visual art into wearable craft and textile work by the same community of artists working across generations of Indigenous creative practice
