DATE/TIME:
EVENTS:
Thursday, May 7
9.30 a.m.

ART SYMPOSIUM
Hosted by Nehanda Niginio

The symposium seeks to address the need for -and the development of- a comprehensive art curriculum, allowing students better learning through the visual arts.

The conference will also be looking at the commercial aspect of art in Belize; breeding a more art-conscious society through education with the intention of creating a bigger market of local artists, art dealers and buyers.

Teachers and artists will be joining an open panel discussion on the above topics with the goal of formulating a plan of action addressing the concerns.

ALL ARE INVITED!

Tuesday, May 19
7.30 p.m.

MOVIE NIGHT: FIREPROOF

Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come;
It means when the fire comes that you will be able to withstand it.

Captain Caleb Holt lives by the old fire-fighter’s adage: never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another story. After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad dares him to take a challenge to safe his marriage.

Entrance: FREE

Friday, May 22
7.00 p.m.
RLC DANCE PRESENTATION

Students of the Regional Language Centre (RLC) will be performing traditional dances from their home countries.

More details to follow.
Sunday, May 24
