"Resonating Rhythms, A Steelpan Tribute" is a special Art and Virtual Reality Exhibition focused on the steelpan. The exhibition, which is currently open at Mille Fleurs, is held by the National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago in partnership with the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago. Business Development and Marketing Coordinator at the National Trust, Graeme Suite, said the exhibition is in commemoration of World Steelpan Day, which was declared by the United Nations as August 11th. The artists have all paid tribute to the steelpan with their works. There is also a virtual steelpan museum on display which Mr. Suite believes will be a wonderful resource for young people. It offers a gaming environment where young people can immerse themselves in the experience. The exhibit runs until August 21st, excluding Sundays, during the hours of 10AM to 6PM. The exhibition is free for the public to attend.

The Art Society of T&T has partnered with us on NOW to feature local artists and their work on our show. Take a look as we chat with today's featured Artist, Joy Luk Pat.

Steelpan Stories celebrates the roots of Trinbagonian sound and movement from the bowels of the barrack yard. The communal energies of the yard gave new birth to our music, dance, voices, steelpan, limbo & kaiso. This is indeed the land of Oil and Music.

I am sure that every single artist can relate to this experience. When you look back at your earlier work and you were like OMG! This is my story of one of my paintings – In 2019, this was my art… when I thought I was finished.. I even signed it. I could not understand how people were not wowed about it! Fast forward to 2021, I can see that it lacked depth and contrast and to be honest with myself, I was scared of messing it up by adding more details on it. So I gave it another go and allowed myself to flow. I knew now that if I made a “mistake”, I could always fix it. This is my completed painting that I named "Wealth & Happiness" It is full of symbolism - The round shape of the lantern represents wholeness and togetherness, the color red signifies warmth, happiness, and good fortune, green yields growth, yellow brings good luck in school, and purple make dreams come true. Hope you like it!

For this theme “Life is a Celebration”, I chose to depict some of the Chinese traditions brought to Trinidad & Tobago. Seeing lanterns and the Chinese Lion dance holds a special place in my heart as I have many fond memories of attending celebrations my family. The first painting "Wealth & Happiness" feature the Chinese lanterns that are common in Celebrations. These designs are always full of symbolism - The round shape of the lantern represents wholeness and togetherness, the color red signifies warmth, happiness, and good fortune, green yields growth, yellow brings good luck in school, and purple make dreams come true. My second painting "Lucky Lion shows the traditional Chinese lion dance in action. It is performed to bring prosperity and good luck for the upcoming year. Chinese lion dances are performed by two "dancers" – Note that this is different from a Dragon dance which uses a group of 9 to 15 dancers. As a Trinbagonian whose grandparents came from China in the early 1900’s, I am happy to see the some of the Chinese traditions included in the multi-diverse culture unique to our nation. It is my hope that I can share some of the joyful moments from these celebrations in my art.

Had such a wonderful time with Patriotic T&T last night in our Friday Night Lime with Patriotic T&T. Got to talk about my passion & share some laughs.

The beauty of HOPE and NEW Beginnings
