Do something different for a change. This Saturday, come and\nbe inspired by live painting by celebrated Jamaican artist, Mark Anthony Hill.\nHill, who lives and works in the United States, has agreed to return to Montego\nBay to conduct a live painting workshop and lecture on September 14 at the\ncourtyard of the Montego Bay Cultural Centre, Sam Sharp Square, Montego Bay,\nbeginning at 10 a.m. The painting will be presented to the City of Montego Bay\nat 6 .p.m., which will be followed by a press conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon the invitation of Senator Dr. Andre Haughton, Mr. Hill\nwas excited about the invitation and looks forward to sharing his talent,\nexpertise and guidance to students and the citizens of Montego Bay. He sees this as an opportunity for him to\ngive back to his beloved community and show, especially to inner-city youths,\nhow art can be a vehicle to transform lives and open opportunities to explore\nthe world and influence culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Hill has been an artist and has been painting for nearly\nthree decades, and draws his inspiration from the likes of Pablo Picasso,\nValente Malangatana Ngwenya from Mozambique, and Wifredo Lam from Cuba. Hill\u2019s\npowerful body of work has what it takes to make him one of the standout\npainters of this era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark\u2019s work will be exhibited at the Cultural Centre and\ncommemorates the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance. He believes this could\ninspire Montego Bay\u2019s own Renaissance Rebirth by telling the story of its\npeople. He also looks forward to his work being among the permanent collection\nin the city of his birth. It is hoped that this lecture demonstration by this\ncelebrated artist will serve to inspire artists of the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
