Another fine piece of work, from the late sculptor, The Most Hon. Edna Manley, now stands in the Sculpture Park at the University of Technology (UTech).

'Tomorrow', a bronze piece, which is the only bronze piece from the great artist to be placed in the park, was unveiled on Thursday. The sculpture was made available through the help of FINSAC and the Government.

Dr. Omar Davies said he hoped the students, faculty members and even persons who were merely passing through the park would appreciate the great work of art.

Pat Ramsay, director of arts and culture at UTech, said she knew "the mother of our art (Manley)" would have wanted us to have a piece of her work. She revealed that a cast for the work was done as way back as 1938. That was destroyed, but Manley had made one in wood, so the design lived on.

Tour of the collection

Before the unveiling, the specially invited guests were given a tour of the A.D. Scott Collection, which is housed jointly in the school's administration building and library. Scott was a pioneer Jamaican art collector and some of his pieces go back to the 1970s. His collection were acquired by UTech in 2005.

Among the small gathering was Chinese Ambassador, Chen Jinghua; president designate of UTech Prof. Errol Morrison; Dr. Kim Scott, daughter of A.D. Scott; Dr. Blossom O'Meally Nelson; Chairman of FINSAC, Shirley Tyndall; George Roper, UTech's senior vice-president of academic affairs; Dorothy Pine-McLarty; and Sybil N'toutoume.
