Petroleum distributor, RUBiS Energy Jamaica, and France-based cultural and social art fund, RUBiS Mécénat, have made adjustments to safely facilitate a free art programme for persons with an affinity for the arts – through the RUBiS InPulse Art Project.
Since 2015, the social art and education initiative has sought to empower Jamaican youth between the ages of 15 and 30, living in Kingston, with an interest in visual arts (painting, drawing, mural design, animation and film making).
Programme Manager of the InPulse Art Project, Camille Chedda, said “In 2020, considering the health crisis, RUBiS retrofitted a space at its Water Lane Service Station in Downtown, Kingston to continue free workshops under the programme, previously housed at the Dunoon Technical High School in East Kingston.”
