In the lobby of Hotel Zeelandia Suites artist Kit-Ling Tjon Pian Gi started an ‘Art Info Desk’ in March 1997. The 'Art Info Desk' was a source of information on the Surinamese Art.
The ‘Art Info Desk’ organized  a mini-exhibition of artists who live and work in Suriname every month. An informative article about each artist was published.
In 1998 the Federation of Visual Artists in Suriname, abbreviated FVAS, was founded and the secretariat of FVAS is housed in the ‘Art Info Desk’ of Zeelandia suites.

Today, information about Art in Suriname is easily found on Internet:
The website of the FVAS is a precious source for information on Surinamese art.  www.suriname-fvas.org.
Readytex Art Gallery also has a extended website on Artists affiliated to the Gallery.  www.readytexartgallery.com
