In a vibrant celebration of national heritage, Grenada’s electricity provider Grenlec has launched an ambitious cultural initiative titled ‘Strengthening Our Roots’ across its customer care centers. The project features specially commissioned artistic displays created by three distinguished Grenadian designers—Sherma Mitchell, Hazel Herbert, and Sandra Holas—who have transformed the utility company’s public spaces into galleries of national pride.
The exhibition, which commenced on February 2nd at Grenville, Carriacou, and Grand Anse locations with Bruce Street following on February 4th, presents bold multimedia installations incorporating floral arrangements, traditional musical instruments, and cultural artifacts. These elements collectively narrate the story of Grenada’s historical journey and contemporary identity through creative interpretation.
This artistic endeavor represents an evolution of Grenlec’s longstanding commitment to cultural preservation, building upon floral art exhibitions initially established in 2012. The company has consistently demonstrated support for local artists and heritage projects, positioning itself as an unexpected but dedicated patron of Grenadian arts.
The participating designers bring distinct regional perspectives to the project: Mitchell represents Grenville, Herbert contributes installations for both Carriacou and Bruce Street locations, while Holas showcases her work at the Grand Anse center. Their collaborative effort emphasizes the diversity within national unity, offering customers an immersive cultural experience during routine visits.
Grenlec’s initiative recognizes the dual importance of preserving traditional expressions while supporting contemporary creative talent. The company expressed gratitude to the designers for ‘bringing our spaces to life’ and hopes customers will discover both joy and cultural significance in the exhibitions throughout the independence celebration period.
