Biennial International Arts Festival

time provided an outlet for a cadre of highly talented artists to showcase
their varied impressions of life on our tranquil island.

unique lifestyle
| Party at the Beach
Jean-Pierre Ballagny in his painting, “Party at the Beach” has The joy and pleasure of living on a peaceful, tranquil island is celebrated in dance after a family picnic at the beach. The artist has effectively conveyed the momentum and atmosphere of
the scene through his masterly blend of the expressive subjects with
light, sky and the sea |

| Hammocks
The color spectrum of the rainbow is vividly represented by artist Four vacant Hammocks seem to convey the laid–back life-style
of the island and appeal to the prospective visitor. The suspended
nets suggest a feel of detachment from the cares and routine of daily
life and is an invitation to relax on the ideal paradise Island-Anguilla,
also called “Rainbow City.” |

| Couched Out
Floridian artist Richard Shaffett has had a lifelong fascination with This boat is “Conched out” at its final resting place. Was her fate sealed by an act of man? A merciless hurricane? An unseen reef? Her sea-going days are over; here she lies on the sand bar as nature brews a fierce squall. |

| Shoal Bay before Luis
“Shoal Bay before Luis” is an exceptional tribute to one of the worlds most alluring margins of powdery, white sand and turquoise surf. Marnie (Jacqueline) Mariethoz recalls the beach before it was The artist's subtle blend of colour and overall artistic ingenuity
has ensured her portrayal of this famous beach the winning entry in
the 2002 International Arts Festival. |
 |
| Island Rhythms
“Island Rhythms” is a representation of Anguillan life which according to artist Carol Gavin, literally presented itself. Her detailed water colour rendering of the ‘Old Valley’ main
street with its quaint country styled churches and commercial landmarks
is indeed remarkable. The spectacle of a herd of goats sauntering in
the street gives sharp contrast to this portrayal and lends to the
scene an important |

| Eudice’s Garden Eunice Summer has captured in her rendering of “Eudice’s Garden” a quickly disappearing feature of life on Anguilla. The exhilarating array of tropical flowers forms a picturesque vista beside a traditional Anguillan cottage leading to the sea. The age old method of drying the laundry is incorporated in the scene with a clothes-line of colorful garments fluttering in the stiff ocean breeze. In the foreground Eudice looks from the window of her humble abode
content with her garden and life’s many blessings. |

Goats of Anguilla
Anguilla’s goats represent approximately 65% of the Island’s fauna population. These wide ranging animals are as resilient as the islanders themselves, with the ability to survive the most adverse climatic conditions. These animals have survived extended periods of drought which often characterize the local weather pattern, and continue to remain a thriving and valuable economic resource.
Goats have been for
centuries domesticated by local farmers as well as raised in the wild which
is their
natural and preferred habitat. The animals are
generally raised for their meat which is largely consumed locally. Goat’s
milk is also a product used presently to a lesser extent. A savory delicacy, “Goat
water”, is an island specialty made from the venison-like meat. Stewed
goat and curry goat are also found on the menu of
local restaurants.
In recent times Anguilla’s goats have featured prominently on the canvasses of local artist. These omnipresent creatures have captured the imagination of resident artist Lynn Bernbaum as depicted in her water colour rendering “Goats in grasses” which depicts a herd of these free rangers grazing in an open field.
The Anguilla Philatelic Bureau, in recognition of these animals’ significant traditional contribution to the island’s economy and the role they played in earlier times as a determining factor in the survival of the local population, has decided to produce an issue of stamps, “Goats of Anguilla” as a fitting tribute to all and sundry, horned and bald.

Development of the Telephone
The rapid expansion of telecommunications on Anguilla
during its post revolutionary era, is a phenomenon which has kept pace with
the island's overall economic development, ensuring reliable contact with
both local and international destinations.
In this stamp issue the evolution of Alexander Graham Bell’s revolutionary mode of communication is traced from the age of the Magneto or ‘crank phone’ to the innovative era of the mobile cellular systems.
This long overdue issue is in recognition of the amazing achievements in
modern telecommunications which have impacted on our lifestyles locally and
indeed globally.

2004 Olympic Games
The quest for athletic supremacy launched by the Greeks over three centuries ago has endured as a legacy, which is today known as the Olympic Games.
The architect of Modern Olympics was Baron Pierre de Coubertin, born in Paris in 1863. In 1896, he was successful in staging the first Olympic games in Greece during the first week of April. It is for this reason that the Anguilla Philatelic Bureau takes pride in featuring Mr. De Coubertin along with his International Olympic Committee counterpart Dimitrios Vikelas on the $1.90 stamp.
The Olympic flag is flown freely together with the flags of the participating
nations. The flag was presented by Baron Coubertin in 1914. It has in the
center; blue, yellow, black, green and red rings. These rings represent the
five continents joined
together on the Olympic movement.
The Olympic motto is: Citius – Altius – fortius. “Faster – Higher – Stronger.
The Anguilla Philatelic Bureau is proud to join other stamp issuing agencies around the world in observance of the 28th Olympiad, to be contested in Athens in 2004.
Anguilla, though not yet an Olympic contender continue to aspire toward
such an achievement and hopes for much success by regional athletes as they
engage in this exacting tournament – Olympic Games, 2004.
