Shopping .............. Cayman Activity Guide ................ 67<br />
Galleries & Local Crafts<br />
Locating those perfect mementos to preserve your vacation<br />
memories in your home forever is one of the most important<br />
vacation decisions you will make. With hundreds of shops<br />
to choose from, the task can be quite daunting so we have<br />
compiled our selection of the most popular galleries off ering<br />
the greatest talent, diversity and value, capturing the beauty,<br />
culture and essence of the Cayman Islands. All of our recommended<br />
establishments produce their art, craft, jewelry and<br />
other items in the Cayman Islands, making them duty free.<br />
Plan at least half a day to explore all the shops and galleries<br />
listed in this section. You will not<br />
only save time and money while<br />
viewing the most exciting arts and<br />
crafts on the island, you will meet<br />
a cast of exciting and entertaining<br />
characters along the way. Avoid<br />
shopping in Georgetown on Tues–<br />
Thurs, which are the busiest cruise<br />
ship days; any other day—except<br />
Sunday when many stores are<br />
closed will off er the least congestion and easiest parking.<br />
Paintings of every kind, carvings, statuettes, photography,<br />
sculpture and jewelry are among the many items available<br />
to choose from. Before setting out on your gallery day,<br />
think of places in your (or friends) home that could use a<br />
little splash of color and ethnicity and then juxtapose that<br />
onto your favorite type of art – the perfect choice is now<br />
reduced to a matter of selection.<br />
Underwater Photos are available in every conceivable<br />
format at Cathy Church Gallery.<br />
Cathy has been one of the most<br />
famous underwater photographers<br />
on the planet for over 20<br />
years. Don’t miss this opportunity<br />
to meet her and see the amazing<br />
collection she has on display,<br />
along with the best deals on digital<br />
cameras & housings.<br />
Hand Crafted Jewelry and Statuettes, made from local<br />
material such as Caymanite and Black<br />
Coral (imported) as well as a dazzling<br />
array of internationally procured substances<br />
is on display at Mitzi’s. Mitzi<br />
herself is a work of art and one of<br />
