Though we are nine days into the new year, excitement from the recent Boxing Day and New Year’s Day Junkanoo parades is still in the air. It isn’t difficult to see why the tradition resonated so much with Brent Malone.
Unveiling R. Brent Malone: “Reincarnation” on the evening of October 24 drew a crowd at The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB). Over 260 works by Brent Malone were sourced from both local collections and ones based overseas. Many of them had never been seen outside of their private homes. Locals from all walks of life came out to see the exhibition of pieces by the man known as “The Father of Bahamian Art”.

The gap between exhibitions was not enough to prevent a room from filling at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas this past Tuesday, when the inaugural talk of a series of discussions presented by some of the country’s foremost sociopolitical activists was held.
The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) will be temporarily closed until October 24 for the installation of R. Brent Malone: “Reincarnation”, but this doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on at the NAGB this month.
