YOUNG artists were given the opportunity to display their work at the Rotunda Gallery at the Red House in Port of Spain on August 7. The exhibition was titled Percussion - The Sounds of Steelpan. Organised in commemoration of World Steeplan Day on August 11, artists were invited to explore the history and cultural, social and economic significance of the steelpan through their art. Speaker of the House Bridgid Annisette-George attended the event and discussed the pieces with each of the exhibitors. The exhibition is open to the public and runs until August 16. - Photos by Gabriel Williams [caption id="attachment_1101550" align="alignnone" width="1024"] A steelpan manufactured by the Codrington Family on display at the Rotunda Gallery on August 7. - Photo by Gabriel Williams[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1101549" align="alignnone" width="1024"] The Codrington Family provided a pan display which is on display at the Rotunda Gallery during the launch of its exhibition Percussion - The Sounds of Steelpan. - Photo by Gabriel Williams[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1101555" align="alignnone" width="931"] Anjali Maraj, 18, displays her art piece titled Sounds of Ambition at the Rotunda Gallery on August 7. - Photo by Gabriel Williams[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1101557" align="alignnone" width="894"] Speaker of the House, Bridgid Annisette-George and Isabella Mohamed-Bridglalsingh, 11, stand with Isabella's artwork at the Rotunda Gallery on August 7. - Photo by Gabriel Williams[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1101551" align="alignnone" width="606"] Levi Samuel, nine, contributed his artwork titled Pan Brothers - Rhythm and Steel to the Rotunda Gallery's steelpan exhibition. - Photo by Gabriel Williams[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1101553" align="alignnone" width="789"] Ariya Ramdass, nine, worked on her drawing months before she created her final painting.
