Beyond the Rhythm: The art of Caribana
A Visual Art presentation of 50 works on canvas, celebrating our survival and accomplishments, beyond the bounds of hardship and sorrow. Beyond the Rhythm - produced by the Association of African Canadian Artists - is the Scotia Caribana 2009 Visual Art Exhibition - On display from July 23rd to August 3rd, at the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada's largest and the fifth largest museum in North America. The quality of this art exhibition and the majesty of the venue makes this event a growing highlight of the line-up of Scotiabank Caribana events. The exhibit consists of 50 large 3'X4' canvases, created by twenty-five artists - 11 male and 14 female - ranging in age from the 20's to the 60's - half of the artists born outside of Canada (Caribbean, Africa, England, and America) and bring to their canvases - their difference, their history and their struggles. Each of the works was created and inspired by the poem "Beyond the Rhythm," written by exhibit curator Joan Butterfield.
