The Rotaract Club of Georgetown Central hosted its 6th Wine and Art exhibition at the Bookland Gardens on March 25, 2023. The event stands as the club’s signature fundraiser supporting its service to the local community.
This year’s event turned out to be bigger and better than its previous installations with a refined experience with an elevated aesthetic and an expansion of the form of arts displayed to include greater emphasis on handcrafted art and fashion along its traditional painting, drawing, photography, and artwork on exhibition. The event offered immersive activities such as its Cork and Canvas live painting class and also new to this year’s event – “Sculpted” a pottery making class.
This year’s event also offered a wider range of wine selections from its wine exhibitors Simextra Trading, Massy Distribution and Demerara Distillers Limited. Also new to the event this year was the addition of hors d’oeuvres and charcuterie board vendors to offer great pairing with the available wine selection. The event was made possible through support and collaboration from the Bookland Gardens.
The Rotaract Club of Georgetown Central is confident that Wine and Art will be back for March 2024 and on a grander scale. The Rotaract Club of Georgetown Central is a non-governmental youth organisation with a focus on professional development of its members and community service for its wider community.
The Club has undertaken countless impactful service activities in its almost 30 years of existence with its R.E.A.D Project (Read Everyday And Discover) being most notable, which has ran for 8years providing reading equipment, tutoring and assistive resources to those in vulnerable communities and those differently abled or with developmental challenges.
