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.”
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).
On tonight’s Blank Canvas we focus on two events taking place over the next few days in New Providence.
First we hear from DC Pratt (second from right), the son of Bahamian artist Chan Pratt, who was a colleague of the great Eddie Minnis and painted with a similar eye for our island. Chan died at a young age and, in his desire for his father’s legacy to live on, DC created the Chan Pratt Foundation, which supports young Bahamian artists in their career path by funding a scholarship to the University of The Bahamas. The annual fundraising event, the “Chan Pratt Inspiration,” takes place at Sapodilla on West Bay Street tomorrow night from 7-10 p.m.
On tonight’s Blank Canvas we are focusing on young, upcoming artists who are taking the first steps in their creative careers and utilising the NAGB’s free portfolio workshops to assist them in their application to universities abroad and to other artistic opportunities.
In this week’s episode of the NAGB’s Blank Canvas, we embrace literary culture in the Caribbean and in the Ninth National Exhibition or “NE9: The Fruit & The Seed” by welcoming Bahamian poets Sonia Farmer and Charlotte Henay to the show.
This week on Blank Canvas we return to looking at the Ninth National Exhibition “NE9: The Fruit & The Seed,” with two artists, Anina Major and Natascha Vasquez, both of whose works speak to our ties to the land and how important it is to care and cherish the environment.
‘Tis the Season and for our New Year’s show we are talking about … JUNKANOO! Not about what we all just saw on Bay, but rather the art behind the festival.
