From now on the Kimme Museum will be called the Kimme Museum Institute, small sculpture- big art; which means, we will change into an art school for small bronze casting taught be master sculptor Dunieski Lora Pileta from Santiago de Cuba, who cast all my small bronzes, the originals are always in wax.
We will invite students from different Universities, either spring term or winter term breaks and also students and artists from Trinidad and Tobago. We should be ready next year. We have to build a foundry and a kiln and build 8 high tables and chairs, and source all the materials and tools.
The bottom floor of the fomer Museum will be a studio. Robin Van Lear from Cleveland Ohio, will organise the students trips etc. She normally brings water colour students; she herself is an artist and a carnival designer, she won many times in Tobago with her original and beautiful costumes. We look forward very much to this venture.

Today 28 wooden sculptures are going to Duesseldorf Germany in storage first and then for an exhibition. The museum now houses only big bronze dancers outside, and inside small bronzes, reliefs, drawings and the 14 feet tall religious pieces. We want to change the studios and one exhibition space into an international sculpture school for small lost wax casts in bronze, aluminium, and of course ceramics, run by Cuban artist Dunieski Lora Pileta, who will build kilns and a small bronze casting facility. This is very exciting to me and I look forward to this change.
