Tonight we will reair the April 10th, 2019 episode, featuring international curator, Larry Ossei-Mensah who came to scope out the art scene in The Bahamas and we’re really pleased to have had him in the Blank Canvas studio!
The NAGB is currently closed due to COVID-19, but when the museum reopens please visit us to view the stunning “Refuge” show. Your regular host Amanda Coulson invites artistic duo, the sisters Kristin and Dede Brown, into the Blank Canvas studio to discuss their moving piece, “In the Faces of Tragedy” which is one of the showstoppers at the NAGB’s post-Hurricane Dorian exhibition.
NAGB team member Diana Sands shares a personal assessment of a captivating painting that is currently on display.
On tonight’s Blank Canvas Amanda Coulson, Executive Director, is joined in the studio by two Bahamian artists, both with current solo shows.
Tonight we are re-airing an earlier show as the NAGB team works to support our brothers and sisters who have suffered in the wake of Dorian. We are operating as a donation site as well as a safe space for healing, respite and sanctuary. The NAGB will also be FREE for the month of September!
NAGB is proud to partner with Bahamian filmmaker Travolta Cooper and “The Cinemas” for the upcoming season for the NAGB Film Series. Cooper is a filmmaker with documentaries, a digital series, and an upcoming feature narrative film all at work; he is also the producer of the show “The Cinemas,” which is dedicated to the rise of Caribbean Cinema and under which banner he will be curating film with the NAGB.
On Saturday, January 20th, 2018, thirteen students from public, private and home schools attended the NAGB’s free portfolio workshop. Formulated for students in senior high school or in their freshman year at The University of The Bahamas, who are looking to transition into a tertiary art programme at an international school in 2018/2019, this workshop is one of two that will be held by the NAGB in 2018. It is hoped that this experience will give students the tools to successfully apply to an art programme of their choice.
The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas’ galleries will be closed through Thursday evening at 6 p.m. as we prepare for the opening of “Medium.” We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas is saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Petrine Archer-Straw this week. As a highly respected presence in the art community, Dr. Archer-Straw will be greatly missed.
