Kingston Jamaica, March 4, 2022 –The Edna Manley College of the Visual & Performing Arts (EMCVPA) continues to celebrate its 45th anniversary under the theme ‘Rising. Responding.’ with its’ annual Founders Week event. Every year since 2010, the College focuses its attention on our founders through a dedicated week of activities where we honour our founders for their contribution to the transition from the Cultural Training Centre to the now Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. Founders’ Week 2022 will be celebrated March 6 – 11, 2022.
We will begin our week of celebrations by inviting the spirit of our creator to provide guidance over the weeks’ proceedings with a Thanksgiving service at the Vera Moody Concert Hall on Sunday March 6, 2022, starting at 4:00 p.m. The week of activities will also include the official launch of our 45TH celebrations on Monday March 7, 2022, on the College Grounds. Through this years’ initiatives, we are hoping to raise 45 million dollars to enhance the Colleges’ resources.
