Bahamian art: Presenting. Uniting. Educating.
GALLERY NEWS
“Evolution of the Arc” is an Open Call Exhibition, in partnership between The Salus Project and the NAGB. With the shared goal of welcoming the wider artistic community into the institution for conversation and exchange, we invite proposals that seek to inspire, critique, uplift, and offer space for contemplation and representation. This Arc, which offers reference to our archipelago, is our chance to consider the past and present, and build out ideas for a new future with healing in mind.
Join us at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas on Saturday, June 19th, 2021, as we host a diverse group of artisans and entrepreneurs to celebrate the fathers in our lives and the longest day of the year! The Summer Solstice Pop Up will feature beauty & well-being products, handmade crafts, locally crafted jewellery, fashion accessories, home décor, great bites, and wine sampling from Caribbean Wines & Spirits.
The NAGB is pleased to welcome kids ages 5 to 17 years to the museum for our first onsite/virtual hybrid Mixed Media Art Summer Camp (MMASC)! Campers will participate and learn visual art techniques, explore different avenues of creativity and develop their knowledge of art in a safe, fun environment.

On this week's "Blank Canvas,” your host Amanda Coulson meets with three more artists, Kendra Frorup, Averia Wright and Jodi Minnis, from the current exhibition “Floating Rib” curated by NAGB’s Associate Curator, Natalie Willis.

On this week’s NAGB’s Blank Canvas, your host Amanda Coulson speaks with two artists who have been supported early in their careers by the NAGB: Local artist Tessa Whitehead, who runs Nine Studios on Strachan Street in Chippingham, and Leasho Johnson, a Jamaican artist currently completing a residency in New York and the Leslie Lohman Museum.
