Punta Gorda, a town in southern Belize, has inaugurated its first-ever Art Gallery and Museum, marking a significant milestone in the region’s cultural landscape. The new venue shines a spotlight on the artistic prowess of 22 indigenous women artisans, whose exquisite creations—ranging from clothing and baskets to jewelry and other handmade items—are now on display. These artisans recently graduated from the ‘Advanced Product Development and Design – Vocational Training for Indigenous Women Artisans in Southern Belize’ program, which has empowered them to blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. The initiative was spearheaded through a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Culture, and Immigration, the Home of Indigenous Arts Belize Limited, and the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan). The gallery and museum are poised to become a vibrant cultural hub, attracting both locals and tourists while providing a sustainable platform for indigenous artists to showcase their work, earn income, and preserve Belize’s rich cultural heritage.
