Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts is located in Jamaica
Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, formerly Jamaica School of Art and Crafts, is an important arts school in Kingston, Jamaica. In 1940, Edna Manley pioneered evening art classes at the Institute of Jamaica's Junior Centre but it was not until 1950 that the first formal arts school opened at the DaCosta Institute at 1 Central Avenue, Kingston Gardens.[1] A number of leading Jamaican artists collaborated with Manley to open the first art school in Jamaica, including Albert Huie who became one of the tutors.[2] 64 paying students enrolled in the first year and due to unexpected interest expanded the school at 11 North Street.[1]
