I encourage anyone with a visual arts event to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for your exhibition, classes, workshops, talks etc.

Let’s get the arts out there!

The Barbados Arts Events page was created to promote the Visual Arts Events in Barbados and artists whether exhibiting here in island or overseas.

The focus is on the events for the fine arts, encompassing art, photography, sculpture and installations, gallery receptions, exhibitions, talks, interviews, workshops, publications, studios, residencies.

I will also post visual art collaborations with writers, theatre, dance, videos, music and creatives but it has to encompass the visual arts/artists to be posted on this page.

I started this page because I felt that the visual arts were not getting much needed exposure to expose the talent in Barbados and around the world. I wish I could encompass all the creative arts as there is so much happening on this tiny wonderful island of ours but I am a one woman band doing this free. Over the years this page has become a support for all creative events in Barbados and I was happy for this but realised that it was diluting the fine arts section which it is meant to focus on.

I need to bring the focus back in these group pages to the visual arts.

Thank you for understanding.

Artist Sheena Rose at the opening reception of the exhibition ‘Get in the Game’ with the work “Rally Round” (a cricket piece which is in the permanent collection of the Barbados National Art Gallery) at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).

From October 19th, 2024−February 18th, 2025.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (February 1, 2024; Updated September 25, 2024)—Sports have a huge presence and pull in contemporary life: the drive to play, compete and win is everywhere, and the urge to cheer our local team and our favorite athlete is irresistible. Artists and designers are likewise drawn to the drama, heartbreak, joy and risk-taking of athletics, inspiring them to tackle new challenges, take on timely topics and reexamine what sports say about our culture. From October 19, 2024−February 18, 2025, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) presents Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture, exploring the powerful—and sometimes contentious—place of athletics in our communities.

Get in the Game, together with six sports-related companion exhibitions, will be the museum’s most expansive presentation dedicated to a subject to date, covering over 15,000 square feet with more than 200 compelling artworks and design objects.

Curated by Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher, SFMOMA’s Helen Hilton Raiser Curator of Architecture and Design; Seph Rodney, independent curator and writer; and Katy Siegel, SFMOMA’s Research Director, Special Program Initiatives, it showcases paintings, sculptures, photographs, video and interactive installations by some of today’s most important artists, together with design breakthroughs in sports gear, gaming and apparel.

“Elombe Mottley's Yoruba Cultural Foundation is remembered as a unique and foundational moment in Barbadian art history. This exhibition is a tribute to his lasting imprint on Barbadian visual art. Suffused by Mottley's Afro-Caribbean vision and efforts towards cultural democratization, Yoruba Yard and its independent off-shoot DePAM (De Peoples Art Movement) generated unprecedented levels of energy around the visual arts in the 1970s and early 80s. Among those whose careers were launched in this period and whose work was inspired by Mottley’s vision were artists like Omowale Stewart, Ras Akyem Ramsay, Mark Maynard, Ras Ishi Butcher, Arlette St. Hill and Ashanti Trotman. Their work is represented in the exhibition along with that of younger artists, Juliana Inniss, Wayne Hinds, Doreen Edwards and Ras Daniel Alleyne whose work remains centered on black Barbadian identities and the African legacy.”

Artist Talk held Wed October 23rd.

This talk by Edward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Shepherd Professor in the history of art at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University held at the Barbados Museum and Historical Society may now be seen here.

https://www.youtube.com/live/x89LAIOz2Wc

This talk considers one of the principal themes of Caribbean art throughout the past four centuries. Landscape is one of the connecting threads throughout the archipelago and the Caribbean mainland. Artists in the early phases of colonization employed images of a peaceful place as metaphors for possibilities of financial investment on the part of Europeans. 19th century artists, both those from the region and from beyond, were loath to face the scourge of enslavement in their depictions of plantation life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an era of liberation from the yoke of European domination, landscape was employed as the quintessential symbol of a new identity. More recently, artists have expanded the meanings of landscape to question the past, the present, and ruminate on the future in this present time of climate crisis. This lecture brings into play a wide variety of visual artists, examining their differences and similarities in order to suggest a “Caribbean-ness” or sense of shared space and experience in visual expression through the interpretation of the earth.

The Speaker

Edward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Shepherd Professor in the history of art at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. His fields of specialization include hemispheric arts, with a particular focus on the Caribbean and Latin America. He is the author of many volumes that examine the history of art in the region from colonial times to the present. He is also active as a curator and has organized many exhibitions in museums and cultural spaces in the United States, Latin America and Europe.

On Sunday 17th November 2pm-6pm, The Barbados National Trust and the Walker Family invite the visual artists community to an afternoon at Welches, home of the late Jill Walker.

��Limited to 40 artists/photographers��Deadline to RSVP is 11th Nov�� Free.

Wander the gardens and draw, paint or photograph. At 4pm a presentation will be made about the possible future of Welches with regards to the artist community in Barbados.

Tea time refreshments will be served.

A reception was held at Queen’s Park Gallery with the artists and curators of the exhibition which is going to exhibit at the Biennale in Dakar, Senegal on Saturday September 28th.

Nyzinga Onifa who initiated this important event of our master artists travelling and exhibiting in Senegal sent further information.

Photography by Heather-Dawn Scott, Justin Jeffers and Martyn Forde

“The Dak’art Contemporary African Arts Biennale, organized by the government of Senegal, will be held from November 07 to Dec 07, 2024. It is a major contemporary art exhibition held in Senegal once every two years. The artistic selection illustrates extraordinary African creativity with diverse mediums, techniques, and artist universes, including illustrations, virtual reality, sound arts, sculpture, and photography. This is the 15th edition of the Biennale, and fifty-eight artists within the Diaspora were selected to participate. The biennale brings together around 250,000 visitors, more than 50,000 from abroad, about 11,000 professionals, and more than 3,000 creators, artists, manufacturers, galleries, collectors, foundations, and institutions. There is a representation of nearly 85 countries, a rich program with nearly 4000 listeners (conferences, film screenings, debates etc). The exhibition host country this year is the USA.

The Official Fringe Festival (OFF) is a private initiative that antennas the biennale. In addition to the official exhibition, which includes selected artists, OFF allows all participants in the arts and culture to present their work without limit, nationality, or gender criteria. OFF will take place May 19 - June 16. It usually starts about three days after the official opening of the Biennale, with more than 450 exhibitions and cultural events. A remarkable media presence, journalists and new media attendants around 1200, media and non-media partners, 200 advertising panels in Dakar including billboards, digital screens, banners, web banners, advertising spots, etc

This year, Barbados will participate in OFF through the NCF and be represented by eleven artists. The NCF will facilitate the project, and the work of Barbadian artists will be displayed in conversation with work from Senegalese artists at the Village Des Arts. The exhibition space at the Village Des Arts was donated to Barbados through Zulu Mbaye, a master artist and the president of the Village Des Arts. Zulu Mbaye will organize discussions, lectures, workshops, and tours for the Barbadian artists to participate in.

The Theme of the Dak’art Biennale is “The Wake,” an Awakening inspired by “In the Wake On Blackness” and written by Christina Sharpe. The working title of the Barbados exhibition is Transatlantique 1: “Return: communing with our Transatlantic Family.”

The participation of Barbadian artists in the Dak'Art Biennale aims to bridge the arts and cultural gap between Barbados and Africa, fostering stronger social and economic ties between the two regions. This initiative will provide an invaluable platform for Barbadian artists to connect with diverse international figures, including African and global artists, writers, art critics, gallerists, collectors, students, scouts, enthusiasts, and art managers. By engaging in these connections, Barbadian artists will have the opportunity to form meaningful partnerships that promote cultural exchange and elevate the island's influence in the global arts community. This interaction will create space for Barbadian art to be exhibited and sold and enrich the broader cultural dialogue between regions and continents.

The artists are:

Jardy Niles- Morris

Ras Ishi Butcher

Ronald Williams

Risèe Chaderton-Charles

Akyem-i Ramsay

Gabrielle Moore

The Art Auction which was held on 16 August 2024 in aid of the Fisherfolk Fund was quite successful. We sincerely thank everyone who participated by putting their artwork up for auction and donating a percentage of the sales proceeds to the Fund.

Meanwhile, the General Manager of the Hilton Barbados Resort was one of the invitees at the Art Auction and he was so impressed that he offered to host another such event at the Hilton in aid of the Fisherfolk Fund. This event will take place on Saturday, 16th November 2024 and will be even bigger than the first, with a more extensive guest list.

��You are once again invited to participate by submitting your artwork/photography for the auction. Please see important and pertinent information below:

��It is intended that 50% of the sales proceeds of each piece will be donated to the Fisherfolk Fund. If you are so inclined, you may donate more than 50% but not less.

��The Starting Bid Price is the price at which the auctioneer will start the bidding, and bids will not go below that price.

��The BAC will NOT be taking a sales commission on any of the pieces sold. The only parties benefiting financially will be the individual artists and the Fisherfolk Fund.

If you are willing and able to do so, we invite you to submit more than one piece.

All artwork submitted must be finished, dry and ready to be hung/displayed (wire, etc must already be attached)

All artwork must be clearly and legibly marked with the artist's name - we will not accommodate anonymous pieces.

��All artwork must be delivered to the Barbados Fisheries Division corporate office on Princess Alice Highway on Monday, 11th November 2024 between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00 pm.

There will be an art entry form at the Receptionist's desk which you will need to fill out and sign.

Attached is a copy of the form which will need to be filled out when artwork is delivered at the Barbados Fisheries Division prior to the Auction.

If you have any questions or need clarification on any of the above points, please do not hesitate to reach out. The Hilton Barbados Resort is putting a great deal of effort into hosting this event and we know that you will want to be a part of it.

How It Happened

I have, for so many years, wanted to create a free online reference book where anyone, in any part of the world, may access the creative people in Barbados. I could not do this on my own and Kathy Yearwood heard of my idea, offered to partner with me and I happily agreed.

What started out in March as a small book of what I thought might be a maximum of one hundred and fifty pages turned into a tome of over three hundred pages. A mixture of excitement and fear at what we had taken on. And here we are in December 2011 with a book showing off the talents in Barbados. So exciting.

The eight month adventure began. Finding artists, photographing them and their work. From March 2011 to October 2011 Kathy and I collated the artwork, the bios and statements and travelled around the island garnering images and information.

Large collections of artwork in homes. Convincing people who thought they were too old and forgotten and watching them smile as their work was photographed and having them talk about themselves so that we could create a bio for them. Literally slipping down the hills of clay at Chalky Mount to see an original kiln and spend the day with the potters. Temple Yard with the Rastafarian community where they are blessed with talent, especially carving, and then coming away with gifts of pineapples and avocados. Photographing in the rain with an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other to get the right angles. Going to openings and craft shows and talking to many. Coming to my home, going to Kathy’s, and going wherever was needed. Meeting the different personalities in so many locations as I photographed many of them for their portrait photo for the book. Remembering some who have left us. A labour of love, learning and fun.

The thank you part as I could not have done this on my own. Norma Springer who encouraged me to “take the book and run with it”. Kathy Yearwood who offered to partner with me collating and to create the book for artists in Barbados. Alison Chapman-Andrews for helping Kathy and I proof read. Amazing how much you miss no matter how many times we went over it. Sue Bain for offering her professional opinion and suggestions as a copy editor. Peter Boos for all the encouragement. Laura Lin Hutchinson for her introduction. Finally, the most important people, the creative souls who put their trust in Kathy and I to show them off to their best. I hope we have done this.

“Hi! Welcome To Antillean Gallery of Art!

My name is Jeena Chatrani and I recently started Antillean Gallery with the intention of promoting and selling art from Caribbean artists online.

I'm an artist myself and I've found that the art scene in Barbados could greatly benefit from some online presence. For the last 6 years I've been a full time artist and have had to learn a lot about the business behind selling art. It's not easy to make it as an artist but it is so fulfilling.

With Antillean Gallery of Art I hope to help raise the standard of art and artists in Barbados, and eventually across the Caribbean.”

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

“Somewhere, amid the darkness, a painter measures a blank canvas, a poet tests a line aloud, a songwriter brings a melody into tune. Art inspires, provokes thought, reflects beauty and pain. I seek it out even more in these times. And in so doing, I find hope in the human spirit.”
