This month of August marks two significant anniversaries for Jamaica: Emancipation Day (August 1) and Independence Day (August 6). In conjunction with the festivities, the NGJ will grant free admission on Sundays during the month of August, including August 4th Sunday. All are welcome to come and look around the National Art collection that is on display as we consider our past, value our present, and look forward to our future successes.
