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. Corrie Scott

The National Cultural Foundation invites you to the opening reception of ‘Wear Your Art’ at Queen’s Park Gallery. Saturday December 9th, 7pm There will be a prize for the best worn art on the evening. The NCF will host the show during the Christmas season which discusses the intersection between art and function whilst highlighting the talent of our local designers and artists. We aim to provide a platform for a diverse audience to facilitate added sales for our talented creatives, whilst seeking to uplift the viewer and buyer and offer them alternative items to wear. Wearable Art blends Visual Arts, haute couture and slow fashion. It sits at the crossroads between craft, fashion and art. It is typified by quality and creativity. This will be a fluid exhibition set-up where we will allow buyers to take their pieces at the time of purchase if they so desire. We may therefore ask artists and designers to restock as needed.

The Barbados Museum & Historical Society is pleased to announce a special artist roundtable webinar for the exhibition LOOKA: Dismantling the Colonial Gaze, on December 4th at 3pm AST. ZOOM Webinar ID: 827 8784 2976 Passcode: 914292 LOOKA: Dismantling the Colonial Gaze is a powerful collaboration between five women artists working primarily in photography: – Risée Chaderton-Charles, Jalisa Marshall, Joy Maynard, Amber Newton and Kia Redman.

This artist roundtable is moderated by the BMHS Deputy Director Mr. Kevin Farmer, and is a chance to engage live with the artists on their process and vision in creating their works for the exhibition!

SHEENA ROSE WITH MARUANI MERCIER First opening at the gallery’s Brussels location, the exhibition will concurrently take place across the pond at London’s revered Saatchi Gallery featuring different artworks by the same participating artists that instigate an international dialogue. They say “History is Written by Victors” when it comes to the Black experience and the racism that often impacts it, the negative ramifications of this quote in relation to Colonialism and the Transatlantic slave trade have corrupted the full truth of Black history pre and post this deplorable era. Filling in the Pieces in Black aims to help redress this imbalance by bringing together a collection of some of the most talented artists of today, through the power of their visual storytelling we will Redefine the past, Refocus the present and Reshape the future. June Sarpong OBE has enjoyed a 20-year career, in which she has become one of the most recognisable faces of British television. June began her career at Kiss 100 and later became a presenter for MTV UK & Ireland. It was when she started on Channel 4’s T4 that she became a household name. In 2008 she hosted Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebrations in front of 30,000 people in London’s Hyde Park. June has also interviewed and introduced some of the world’s biggest names including HRH Prince of Wales, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and George Clooney. She has worked extensively with HRH Prince Charles as an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust, whilst campaigning for The One and Produce (RED). June was awarded an MBE in 2007 for her services to broadcasting and charity, making her one of the youngest people ever to receive the title.

Winston Carloyde Yearwood “Cassius Clay”
“I’d like to say a few words about one of the most entertaining, kind, and likable people I have met since I started coming to Barbados every year. His name was Winston Carloyde Yearwood. A homeless street kid by the time he was 10, living on the docks, eating discarded produce, and carrying water for the workers for a few pennies, he learned to fight with the other boys for what little he had. His luck changed when the police finally sent him to the Government Reformatory school. For the first time he was part of a ‘family’ who educated and cared for him. After he left the school, he became a boxer. He won over 100 fights including international bouts. At home everyone started referring to him as ‘Cassius Clay’. Later he started performing feats of strength and stunts such as swallowing fire. He entertained at Harbour Lights for years and hosted fundraisers for kids. He painted local scenes, and he also became a tour guide which is how I met him. For the first few years that I came here, I was intent on learning everything I could about the island. I hired tour guides, some very informative, who enlightened me about the new water system installation, or the over-sale of sugar to Puerto Rico, or the offshore cement plant, and the incredible literacy rate of over 99% for the adult population, and some who didn’t speak at all and just chauffeured me to tourist destinations. Then I met Cassius and entered into the heart of the country. He drove down roads that didn’t actually exist to places not seen by many except locals. He told me about his island, his life, and his art. When I asked to see his artwork, he took me to a neat little house which belonged to his family and showed me some of his pictures. Here are 3 that were hanging on his walls and the fourth is in NY hanging on my wall. He was a beloved Barbadian. He died this past June.” Pam Hunt

In celebration of Independence 2023 and two years further down the road of being a Republic, Artists Alliance Barbados is encouraging artists to submit work on the theme of ‘Access’. Inspired by the excerpt (below) from HERITAGE VS CULTURE, an article written by Norma Springer in 2021. “We are late to recognize the beach as cultural heritage. In the 1970s Fr Andrew Hatch was warning us to guard against Barbados becoming an inner city with all the attendant social and economic chaos when we lose access to the beaches for escape and play. In our short-sightedness we heard but did not understand, and today as every window to the sea is closed and the sea is taking back the beach, we are again recycling talk about beach access. In reality we do have beach access – narrow, garbage shewn paths to take us down for a dip but we are not to linger as we do not have a place to unload chairs, cooler and pot of pelau from our cars, nor space to spread out, eat or play. These living experiences my friends are the result of the narrow thinking of de gatekeepers whether in de govment or in de parliament – that access is just an entryway. Access is an essentially contested concept in sociology but that does not prevent our policy makers setting the meaning for purpose. The lazy definition is entry into or use of – once de door open yah can go in, while the other approach looks at factors influencing entry or use that requires more effort from our policy makers and regulation controllers to consider how Bajans use the beach, how to preserved both entry and usage while sharing it wid de turists dem. De turists dem can spread out in dem beach chairs but Bajans got tah drawup by de high water mark policed by their own sons and daughters. Again, I acknowledge the works of our visual artists on beach access – Arlette St Hill’s installation at Queens Park Gallery Beach Access, (circa 2010), Therese Hadchidy curated exhibition Water (2019, Queens Park Gallery), and Annalee Davis with her video, Public Beach Access (circa 2012) and essay Beach as Plot (2020). Davis’s video shows her actually measuring the width of these access paths de govment made sure we have. There are many more artists across all forms and genres working to help us see, hear and understand the world around us, but alas!” We encourage you to not only explore questions of access to our beaches, but to cast your nets further and submit work that also looks at access to health, education, information, land, money and choice.” - Norma Springer

The Barbados Museum & Historical Society is pleased to feature works by the talented Peter Brathwaite in the exhibition 'Rediscovering Black Portraiture’. As a performer and artist of Barbadian descent, Peter Brathwaite’s celebrated work goes beyond mere representation. By centering the stories and experiences of Black figures that have been historically marginalized or erased, he challenges conventional narratives and calls attention to the social and political concerns that surround the portrayal of the global majority. Through Peter’s reimagined portraits and his personal connection to Barbados, this exhibition provides an opportunity to confront historical injustices, challenge established narratives, and foster meaningful dialogue. Join us on this artistic journey that reshapes history, unravels truths, and sparks vital discussions. Let's celebrate the power of art to inspire change!

Jeena Chatrani Antilles Gallery. https://m.facebook.com/AntilleanGalleryofArt/ “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.” -Jeena Chatrani

“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.” Dan Rather
