The Working People's Art Class (WPAC), founded by Edward Rupert Burrowes in 1945, was the first established art institution in the colony of British Guiana, now the country of Guyana. A number of well-known Guyanese artists were taught at the WPAC. ==Foundation== Burrowes started to lead Working People's Free Art Classes in 1945 and formally founded the WPAC organization in 1948. The name drew the attention of the British authorities, who were concerned that the classes might be a front for a communist organization. They sent two detectives to join the class and see what was going on. One of them, Inspector John Campbell, became interested in drawing and painting and continued with the WPAC, later participating in exhibitions. By 1947, there were 86 students enrolled in the free WPAC, which had started in Georgetown in April that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Working People's Art Class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
