Trinidad and Tobago’s 1st Immersive 360° Art Gallery Experience showcasing “Emotions” by Kerron John

The reveal of Trinidad and Tobago’s 1^st Immersive 360° Art Gallery Experience showcasing “Emotions” by Kerron John.

As “The oldest established Art Organization in the Caribbean” (1943-present), it is fitting that The Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago should seek to be a catalyst in this opportunity being realised in Trinidad and Tobago especially during this pandemic time. The Covid-19 situation has meant limited to no recreational activity for:

a. The Immunocompromised & others at-risk individuals

b. The Self-Isolating

c. The Quarantined

d. The exhausted front-liners and all supporting staff

e. The super careful and many more

This model can provide an opportunity to dissipate some of the anxiety caused by the minimized activity as well as help take Trinidad & Tobago to the next level as an educational and tourism product provider, increase the exposure of our local creative talent and an excellent global advertising opportunity.
