Movie – Vanishing Sail – Provo – Saturday, March 30th

The Turks & Caicos National Museum and TCISA are presenting a showing of Vanishing Sail on Providenciales Saturday, March 30th.   

Saturday March 30th
Brayton Hall Theatre – Providenciales
Movie starts at – 7 PM
$20 General Admissions/$30 Balcony
Tickets can also be purchased in advance at the Museum on Provo
Snacks & Refreshments available for sale
Proceeds will be used towards the Museum’s new project on documenting the Boat Building Industry in The Turks and Caicos Islands and used for development of the museum on Providenciales. The documentary Vanishing Sail follows Alywn Enoe’s (in Carriacou) journey of determination and resilience over three years, from hauling trees with his sons, to a final traditional launching ceremony. Stories of the old Caribbean – trading by sail and smuggling contraband interweave a tribute to the independent spirit of a small island community.
It is our goal to document the Caicos Sloop industry and be able to preserve the methods through Museum displays and educational programming.

Grand Turk 2019 upcoming Projects
Children’s Club – We are starting the monthly Children’s Club again. The first club will be held on February 16, 2019. Arts, crafts, games and field trips will be designed to be both fun and educational. Children from ages 8-12 are invited to participate. The club is FREE!! Enrollment will start in January. The club will be held once a month on a Saturday from 1pm – 3pm.
Oral History Interviews – Oral histories are the collection and study of historical information using tape recordings of interviews with people having personal knowledge of past events.  Preserving oral history is a critical phase of genealogical research and data preservation. If you are interested in participating or know someone who should be interviewed please contact us. Individuals from all islands will be included.
Community Mosaic – We plan to turn the museum wall into an original handmade mosaic. This project started on Museum Day and be an ongoing project. We had children draw pictures of landmarks, animals and plants. Those pictures were used to create the various images that will be part of the mosaic. The wall mosaic will transform our environment and community creating a lasting, beautiful change.  Participants will learn mosaic techniques and gain deeper pride in the community. The mosaic will include representations of all areas of life in the Turks & Caicos including our history, culture, nature and wildlife.
for more information on any of these projects please email us at info@tcmuseum.org

November 22nd – Grand Turk Garden Restoration

The museum will be working with Fathom and a group of volunteers off of the Princess Cruise Ship. Fathom is a non-profit organization that works with Carnival Cruise Corporation to organize volunteers to do work on the islands that the ship visits. On their stop in Grand Turk the volunteers will be assisting us with the garden which was damaged during the hurricanes of September 2017. The garden is in need of replanting, repairs and painting.
We are so excited and pleased to be working with this organization!!
We are asking that local volunteers join us to help restore the garden.
Please contact us if you are interested in participating or have questions!  Want to learn more about Fathom – visit their website.
