Coca-Cola's 'Open Happiness' in Belize Exhibit | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Coca-Cola is celebrating 50 years of bottling in Belize.  They invited 50, yes 50, artists to submit art with the theme, 'moments of happiness with Coca-Cola.'  Congratulations to Terryl Godoy for winning 1st place.  Channel 7 interviewed Mr. Godoy: "If you noticed in that painting, everything comes in naturally.  The 'bread and bun' on top of the little Coke sign, that's how they used to do it.  The little shop didn't have Coca Cola big on it; it said 'Daddy's', right?  That's how it used to be in the 60's and 70's, and I am painting from my mind - this painting doesn't exist - a lot of people wants to know what street that was.  Well, because it's so familiar, you can mistake it for one of those areas, but it's directly from my mind about how it used to be."

 

The Coca-Cola exhibit will be touring around Belize over the next 6 months.  They'll be having stops in Cayo, at the SISE House of Culture from August 3rd to August 20th, and Belmopan, at the George Price Center, from August 27th to September 14th.
