Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events Thank you to the Gallery of Caribbean Art and The Art Hub who have teamed up to pay for an upgrade for this magazine through 2017. This means The Visual Arts Barbados Magazine may now be viewed with no ads and downloaded. This is a completely free magazine created out of the need to inform so that we can get to exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and more, rather than hearing about events after they have taken place. I encourage anyone with a creative event or a new piece of work to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for you. Let’s get the arts out there! Please, pass this magazine on to others and so help the creative side of Barbados get all the exposure possible. Corrie

Congratulations to Jill Walker on receiving a well deserved Jubilee Award for her contribution to culture and the visual arts for well over 50 years in Barbados.
“She was born Joanna Jill Crockford in England in 1927. She knew she wanted to be an artist from a very early age and pursued her passion tirelessly. Determined to break away from the hard post-war years she borrowed money from her father and bought a one-way ticket on a freighter to visit a friend in South America. Travelling simply, with an atlas under one arm and her paints under the other, she set off to make her fortune as an artist and happily, on her very first night, fate would have it that she was introduced to a young bachelor, Jimmy Walker. The Caribbean, in the 1950’s, was an idyllic place for this young couple, setting out together, she the gifted artist, he the ambitious architect. Mum soon fell in love with the people and the culture, painting her surroundings yet unconsciously recording a lifestyle that is now, in places, slowly disappearing. They married and settled happily in Barbados in 1956 and today, over 50 years, 3 children, 7 grandchildren, various pets and numerous gift shops later - and with many, many friends all over the island, they couldn’t ever imagine living anywhere else … … and my Mum still enjoys painting daily.” Sue Trew

ANDREW HEWKIN M.A. An exhibition of watercolours from the island. 5th February–24th March 2017. Holders House St James Barbados. Gallery: 432 6385/1823 Andrew (20 Jan–20 March): (246) 422 0204 Andrew Cell Phone +44 7961144179 andrewhewkin@hotmail.com www.andrewhewkin.com
Andrew Hewkin. An exhibition of watercolours from the island. 5th February–24th March 2017. Holders House St James Barbados. This will be the sixth one-man exhibition that Andrew Hewkin has held in Barbados. Previous exhibitions have featured mainly oil paintings that are of, or have been influenced by, the West Indies and in particular Barbados, an island he has come to appreciate over the last forty years for its visual beauty, special natural light and diverse history. Following his large exhibition at St Peter’s Bay in 2013/14 which comprised forty-five paintings from his collection, this show is an extensive display of his new watercolours for the first time. Andrew’s vibrant sketches reflect themes and subjects seen in his large oils that may be familiar to aficionados of his work and to many here on the island. ‘‘I have decided to show a collection of watercolours entitled ‘POSTCARDS FROM BARBADOS’. This work was born out of my earlier travels sailing throughout the Indonesian archipelago in 2011/12 when I produced a selection of watercolour sketches based around the concept of ‘the postcard’. Postcards are a very old form of communication and were probably the first visual means that travellers had to portray the location they were visiting and share it with their loved ones back home – a forerunner to the social media of today – but a far more evocative and personal vehicle than the iPhone, Facebook or Instagram. The fact that the picture postcard travelled ‘itself’ to reach its distant location made it even more of an exciting prospect as a concept to me. The intrepid journey by plane and liner over continents and oceans of the adventurers carefully chosen image, bearing the decorative beauty of exotic stamps and postmarks, could only have enhanced its long-awaited arrival. I found all these elements incredibly stimulating and inspiring, so I set out to emulate the expression behind this long-lost art form and project it to a higher plane – as ‘fine art‘. I wanted to record events that would otherwise fade away and to regenerate the thrill and passion for distant travel. I think my ‘postcard’ watercolours refresh the essence of the excitement one experiences by relaying thoughts in a form that is tangible, memorable and above all, appreciated for its uniqueness and aesthetic quality.’’ Andrew Hewkin. 2016. There will be over 30 watercolours. All images are originals and will not be reproduced in any other form. Andrew Hewkin M.A., Holders House, Holders Hill, St James, Barbados.

R.I.P. Ras Bongo Congo I. " Since his conversion to the Rastafari faith in 1978, Ras Bongo Congo I has augmented his early training as a stonemason with a new found consciousness, to become one of the leading sculptors in Barbados today. He is a multiple Gold Award winner in the National Independence Festival of Creative Arts (N1FCA), and in 1991 was part of a 3 Dimensional Design workshop, coordinated by the OAS and the National Cultural Foundation. 1992 saw Ras Bongo join with painter Ras Jahaziel Tafari for the groundbreaking exhibition 'Let My People Go', at Queens Park Gallery, Bridgetown. Since then he has represented Barbados at CARIFESTA V in Trinidad and Tobago, and 'A Bridge To The Americas' exhibition, Alfred 1. Dupont Building, Miami. His other exhibitions include, 'Great Kings of Cricket', Grand Salle Gallery - Central Bank of Barbados, as well as contemporary shows at the Barbados National Bank, Sherbourne Centre, the University of the West Indies, and the Barbados Consulate, NYC. As Ras Bongo envisions it, "Art is the soul of the people. The expression which the artist projects should uplift and guide the people." http://www.diaspora-now.com/etc %20pages/artists_bio.htm#Ras%20Bongo %20Congo%20I

PUNCTUM Abstract Photographs by
William St.James Cummins Exhibition Opens FEBRUARY 10, 2017 RECEPTION - 5:30pm-8:30pm At The Frame & Art Co., Millhouse Complex, St.Michael, Barbados Exhibition runs until March 11th, 2017 Further info call 271-6509, 230-5509 or Email - info@frameartco.com
PUNCTUM: Abstract Photographs by William St.James Cummins Artist’s Statement This exhibit may possibly show my most honest work to date. It marks a new level of interaction with the physical and psychic environment about me in a deceptively simple way. It is a recording of how, thanks to 21st century technology and a corresponding openness to life, my entire eye finds itself engaged with an ever-changing world. The simplest of processes marks the birth of each new image. I look..., I see..., I capture. My creative universe is no longer thus in my head, but entwined with the physical environment about me in ways which are liberating beyond description. Perhaps this is cheating? Or perhaps the honesty involved cannot be hidden in a studio, cannot be disguised by labyrinthine and complex philosophies and arcane processes that are painful and reflect pain. Each image cannot be but what it is: A miniature epiphany! Each image describes a little opening of the eye, a little expanding of the mind and another bright pulse in the otherwise monotonous steps of life, and thus each is a valid moment of celebration in itself.
Punctum: Abstract Photographs by William St.James Cummins In presenting the minutiae of daily life, William Cummins’ photographs have the seemingly spontaneous character of straight photography. The medium here is, however, the photographer rather than the camera, and the image is never intended to be objective. What Cummins seeks to convey is arguably not the awakening of patterns, fragments, lines and textures by light, so much as it is his own awakening by small visual events, where sudden meaning emerges out of the chaos of the world. Cummins is at once a cerebral, an intuitive and a spiritual artist, and the intrinsic connection between photography and light, is undoubtedly a significant aspect of its appeal. Considering how we respond to photographs, Roland Barthes speaks of the occasional “punctum-effect" – the inexplicable moment, when some element of an image unexpectedly pierces or unsettles the viewer. In Cummins’ works, the photographer thus seems intent on recording his own emotional piercing. Unable to predict how they will affect the viewer, they are offered up to us as inscrutable promises – given, perhaps, in the hope that we may see what he saw, and thus reaffirm its transcendence.

"The first time was historic, this second participation is truly ground-breaking. It is the first time that a country from the Caribbean, aside from the art giant of Cuba, has shown in back to back biennales. Jamaica participated once, and Bahamas once, but up to now Grenada is the only island from the Southern Caribbean to participate. It says a lot about the determination of the artists and the commitment of the Ministry of Culture to once again take on this task of showing Grenada’s art on the world stage. The exhibition will open on 12th May at its Official National Pavilion on 417 Fondemente Zattere and extend through the end of November. The Honourable Senator Brenda Hood as the Minister of Culture appointed Dr. Susan Mains as Commissioner, and Mr. Omar Donia of Contemporary Practices as the Curator. " https://artandsoulgrenada.com /…/57th-biennale-di-venezia-g…/ Asher Mains, Susan Mains and Christine Cornier were featured in the November 2016 issue of Barbados Visual Arts Magazine.

In an effort to cultivate discussions about the arts starting at a young age while engaging with the community, Fresh Milk will implement an outreach programme using the resources available in The Colleen Lewis Reading Room (CLRR). One of the many challenges faced by young creatives is, despite their artistic gifts, they often struggle when it comes to speaking and writing comprehensively about their work. This is a skill that would benefit immensely from reading, whether specifically arts oriented texts or even well written fiction; gaining an appreciation for articulate material is imperative to mastering one’s own practice. Fresh Milk proposes to be the go-to point for refining these skills, beginning at CSEC level when children are expected to take their research and written abilities to a higher standard, all the way up to providing MA or PhD candidates with a deep pool of knowledge and unique material which they can draw upon. The Fresh Milk team will work with secondary school teachers in this area to construct a programme which will bring the students to Fresh Milk to show them the studio and reading room, letting them know that there is an environment available which can cater to their academic and creative needs.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY POETS www.lxpbarbados.org
MISSION The Mission of the League of Extraordinary Poets (LXP) is threefold; 1. To nurture those involved in the arts, with a special emphasis on poets and spoken word artists; 2. To edutain the public through exposure to our art, and 3. To use the voices of the artists to bring awareness to, and to actively work towards addressing issues of importance in our society. VISION The LXP was founded on the principle that no art form exists in a vacuum. It is inexplicably tied to society, culture and time in which it is created, and that artists can improve their skills, and inspire one another when they operate in a close knit community of other like-minded artists, committed to positive feedback and professionalism in pursuing their art to its highest and best potential. The LXP sees spoken word and other forms of poetry and lyrical commentary as art forms which are not only able to express the personal vision, emotions and stories of the individual artist, but also as vehicles to speak to social issues not addressed in other forums and to educate the public in the hopes of bringing positive change to the society in which we live.
Our Mission To fuel the development of culture through training, research and the creation of opportunities in cultural industries. The Role of the NCF The NCF’s two major roles are: developmental and commercial. In its developmental role, the Foundation uses culture as a tool for national development fostering and supporting the various art forms and new cultural products. In its commercial role, the Foundation is responsible for the promotion, production and hosting of cultural festivals and associated events that are considered economically viable or socially acceptable. A key part of this function now includes the responsibility for the staging and execution of major governmental and national events. In addition, as culture becomes more pivotal to national and international policy, the National Cultural Foundation continues to re-assess its responsibilities in light of all its functions. FUNCTIONS of the NCF are: To stimulate and facilitate the development of culture generally To develop, maintain and manage theatres and other cultural facilities and equipment provided by Government To organize cultural festivals Assist persons interested in developing cultural expression. OBJECTIVES of the NCF are: To provide opportunities for Barbadian artists/artistes to showcase their talents with the end result being an increased demand for local work To educate Barbadians concerning their heritage To offer Barbadians and visitors alike a high quality product that informs, educates and entertains To equip our cultural workforce with technological skills and training to excel in their particular art forms To strengthen the local cultural product and in the process increase profits to the shareholders To create high quality products that will be competitive on the local, regional and international markets To maximize the role of the cultural sector in the tourism industry Rodney Ifill, Cultural Officer Visual Arts 424-0909 ext.234 rodney-ifill@ncf.bb www.ncf.bb Annette Nias Cultural Officer - Film and Photography 424-0909 Ext 238 annette-nias@ncf.bb
