- Visual Arts of the Cayman Islands permanent collection. This is what people come for: a rotating selection of Caymanian painting, sculpture and mixed media from the 20th century to now, with works by Miguel Powery, Gladwyn “Miguel” Powery among the best known names. Hung in a compact space, it is easy to read as a whole in about an hour.
- Changing exhibitions in the main gallery. Shows rotate through the year and often focus on a single Caymanian artist or theme such as the sea, storms or Heritage. The new wall text is usually short and plain, so you get context without a lecture.
- Miguel Powery’s work. His bold, color-saturated scenes of island life are among the most recognizable images in Caymanian art. Look for the flattened perspective and thick outlines, which give even a quiet beach scene

- Miguel Powery’s work. His bold, color-saturated scenes of island life are among the most recognizable images in Caymanian art. Look for the flattened perspective and thick outlines, which give even a quiet beach scene a lot of punch.
- The Cayman Islands Biennial. When it runs, this is the gallery’s main showcase for contemporary local artists, so it is the best chance to see what younger Caymanians are making rather than only the established names.
- Waterfront setting on Harbour Drive. The gallery sits in central George Town, steps from the harbor, so you can pair it with a stroll along the water and the cruise-port bustle outside. Go in for the air conditioning and stay for the view back toward the sea.
- Education and workshop programs. The gallery runs art classes, talks and school programs, and visitors can sometimes catch a workshop or artist talk. Check the posted schedule at the front desk, since the calendar changes with each exhibition.
- The gallery shop and artist-made pieces. Small prints, cards and locally made crafts are a better souvenir than the mass-produced magnets down the street, and the money supports Caymanian artists.
