APEC House

This is the first national contemporary arts exhibition to be hosted by the National Cultural Commission of Papua New Guinea in conjunction with Tumbuna Visual Arts Association.

A body art show themed “deforestation” is expected to be the highlight of the exhibition apart from the viewing and purchasing of all artwork that will be put out on display.

Executive Director of National Cultural Commission Steven Kilanda said that roughly 60 masterpieces from 26 artists will be displayed at the exhibition.

Minister for Sports, National Events, and APEC, Justin Tkatchenko, says work on reclamation, foundations, and footing is expected to be completed by February and for the contractor to begin work.

What is said to be an iconic landmark, APEC House complements the Ela Beach front developments.

This will include the extension of the beach front by a 100 metres out, and a four lane highway to join the Paga Ring Road, complementing the new APEC House replacing the old Sea Park lookout.
