On tonight’s Blank Canvas, Amanda Coulson (NAGB’s Executive Director) receives a visit from Diana Nawi, an independent curator currently based in Los Angeles.

On this week’s Blank Canvas we are visited by Bahamian artist Lillian Blades, who lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. Blades was born in Nassau in 1973 and strives, through her personal art practice and public art projects, to create and strengthen connections.

Tonight’s Blank Canvas is all about partnerships and the positive, far reaching impact collaborations can have on communities. Guest host Katrina Cartwright, NAGB Education and Outreach Manager, is joined by two representatives from Popeyes, Brand Manager Vashti Simmons and Marketing Manager AnnMarie Romer, for the first segment and for the latter segments, Matthew Rahming, Curatorial Assistant at the NAGB.  

Another international curator, Larry Ossei-Mensah, has come to scope out the art scene in The Bahamas and we’re really pleased to have him in the Blank Canvas studio this week!

On tonight’s Blank Canvas we host Grand Bahamian artist Allan Jones in the studio.

On today’s Blank Canvas, guest host Dr. Craig Smith is joined by UB english professor and poet Dr. Amatoritsero Ede, acclaimed Trinidadian poet Shivanee Ramlochan and Bahamian artist and poet Sonia Farmer. They discuss the upcoming third annual Blue Flamingo Literary Festival (BFLF) in partnership with the NAGB, which will be held at The University of The Bahamas March 21-23, 2019.

On this week’s Blank Canvas we welcome two more artists from the National Exhibition “NE9: The Fruit and The Seed,” Jalan Harris (centre) and Kendra Frorup (right).

The NAGB’s Blank Canvas invites three guests into the studio—all of whom have artwork exhibited in this year’s National Exhibition, “NE9: The Fruit & the Seed”—to discuss different ideas about boundaries and public spaces and how those can be organised in such a way as to be detrimental to our continued positive growth as a society.

On tonight’s Blank Canvas guest host Katrina Cartwright, NAGB Education and Outreach Manager, is joined by two dynamic groups who are working to bring Bahamian creativity to the forefront in exciting and distinct ways.

Women continue to populate the Blank Canvas studio tonight to discuss their artwork and the concepts it addresses in this year’s National Exhibition “NE9: The Fruit & The Seed.”
