Invitation to celebrate Art in the Park for a special Mother’s Day

Friday, May 7, 2004

Sending flowers is a tradition for Mother’s Day, so for something a little different this Mother’s Day, the management of the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is suggesting a day among the flora and fauna of the park at the Art in the Park.

Visitors will also be treated to art and craft displays, music, children’s activities and food for sale at this special event, one of four this year to celebrate the Park’s 10th Anniversary.

Art In the Park is open both Saturday, 8 May and Sunday, 9 May from 9 am to 5 pm, with admission $6 for adults and $1 for children under 14.

More than 40 artists have confirmed exhibitions and many will have work on sale for an extra Mother’s Day treat.

The Tourism Attraction Board (TAB) is responsible for overseeing the management of the Botanic Park.

Chief Executive Officer, Gilbert Connolly has led the organisation of the anniversary events this year to encourage residents to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the gardens.

He said: “This is a busy weekend with a number of high profile events taking place in Cayman, however we hope that people will be able to enjoy the other events and also join us to mark this important anniversary.
“Our botanical gardens are often considered the best in the Caribbean and this is a unique opportunity to sample the work of some of the best artists in the Cayman Islands within the natural beauty of the gardens.”
