Join us at the Chamber Lunch on June 12th, where David Ummels, Cultural Diplomacy Ambassador, will reflect on the tremendous success of last year's groundbreaking Renoir exhibition in Guernsey.
This event not only enriched our cultural fabric but also positioned Guernsey as a key player on the global arts scene. The exhibition's strategic use of cultural diplomacy significantly bolstered our local economy by drawing tourists during the shoulder months and enhancing our global reputation.
David will also introduce the exciting new 'Finding Turner' project, set to launch this summer. This initiative celebrates the legacy of J.M.W. Turner, who captured our island's beauty in 1832. The project will not only feature a series of exhibitions in collaboration with esteemed institutions like Tate Britain, Christie's, and the National Gallery but will also include educational curriculum packs for local schools to foster a deeper appreciation of our cultural heritage.
This event is an opportunity to delve deeper into how cultural diplomacy is driving economic and governmental advancements, reaffirming Guernsey's status as a beacon of cultural richness and historical significance.
