The Waitukubuli Artists Association (WAA) is pleased to announce that the fifth installment in our ‘Year of the Artist’ presentations. ‘Rîzë’. This three-day exhibition will take place from June 28th-30th at the Rejens Hotel in Portsmouth and the general public is urged to attend this once in a lifetime experience.
Created by WAA President Lowell Royer, also known as OMtNI (silent ‘t’),Rîzë is about arriving at an elevated state – physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Rîzë was inspired by: the way Dominicans are quick to get back on their feet after disasters like Maria; Dominican women being strong; and the Dominican youth always striving to be positive and looking towards a brighter future.
These unique pieces are on wood, done with wood stain and sandpaper, with some acrylic paint for colour (much different from what we are used to in Dominica, and you most likely won’t find art fitting that description on the internet either).
With a style dubbed ‘Dramatic Realism’, Royer showcases his love for nature with exaggerated effects to bring out the features that strike him the most.
The three-day event will feature the Rîzë presentation/exhibition, live painting by OMtNI himself, various live dance and percussion instruments performances and an artist talk to close off the event.
We hope that we can count on the General Public to help to make this event one of our best yet and hope to see you at Rîzë.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
