The Art So­ci­ety of Trinidad and To­ba­go host­ed the open­ing of its An­nu­al May Mem­bers’ Ex­hi­bi­tion, Traces of Us, on May 6. The event was a cel­e­bra­tion of lo­cal artistry, at­tract­ing a large crowd of art en­thu­si­asts, com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers, and sup­port­ers of the arts.

The ex­hi­bi­tion high­lights the rich cre­ativ­i­ty and di­verse ex­pres­sions of Trinidad and To­ba­go’s artis­tic com­mu­ni­ty.

The evening was filled with en­gag­ing con­ver­sa­tions as at­ten­dees ex­plored the art­works and con­nect­ed with the artists be­hind them. The ex­hi­bi­tion will re­main open to the pub­lic un­til May 29 dur­ing gallery hours, which are Tues­days to Sat­ur­days from 12 noon to 6 pm.
