Liberia's Arts and Crafts Celebration

Annual Event at the U.S. Embassy

Recently, the Embassy of the United States of America held its Second Annual Arts & Crafts Exhibition, featuring Liberian arts and crafts. The Embassy’s annual Arts & Craft Exhibition celebrates Liberian artists and showcases the best of Liberian Arts and Crafts.

The event also provided an opportunity for members of the Diplomatic Corps and of the NGO community, the public at large, Embassy employees, and friends of the Embassy to purchase arts and crafts, including paintings, quilts, and other art works directly from the artists who produce them. The occasion further provided an outstanding opportunity for participants to come out and enjoy a festive day highlighted by cultural activities, and ethnic food.

The event was a reflection of the United States Embassy’s support for the work of Liberia’s artists, as can be seen hanging on Embassy building, including homes artworks by Liberian artists..

The U.S. Embassy’s Annual Arts & Craft Celebration takes place at the compound of the Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section at Mamba Point in Monrovia. The Celebration brings together artists, and supporters of artists from all walks of life.
