VISUAL ARTS BARBADOS

Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events Magazine

Thirteen years of the publication

All issues https://issuu.com/corriescott

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 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!

Please, pass this magazine on to others and so help the creative side of Barbados get all the exposure possible.

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.

Couturier Pauline Bellamy’s experience on Marcus Garvey Day and the exhibition now on at Queen’s Park Gallery .

“Last Thursday evening, I got dressed up and headed out on my own to celebrate Marcus Garvey Day ���� at Queen's Park House.

���� I started the evening off by taking in the visual arts exhibition at Queen's Park Gallery entitled "We Came On Merchant Ships - Rites, Rituals and Religion". Then, it was selfie time, in the midst of these amazing paintings.

���� The entire exhibition was outstanding but something about this painting was captivating. Thank you @art_of_deolivere for capturing this moment.

���� This is my friend and artist Juliana Inniss discussing her ceramic pieces on show at the exhibition.

���� The band Riteside Of Red was a whole conscious vibe.These are just a few of the artists that performed that evening.

���� I read a quote somewhere that said that women should spend a significant time alone and that it's important to know that you can do it all by yourself. Well I had an enjoyable time.I danced, ate lentil patties and drank rum punch.I saw some familiar faces and connected with some new ones too. Had some inspiring conversations and returned home feeling like a winner.

���� I've been wearing pieces from my sister's wardrobe since she had passed. The top was hers but I've had the mud cloth skirt for over 15 years. I shifted the front of the skirt to the side and yet another funky look was born.

���� I read another quote that said that wearing an outfit and looking exactly the way you imagined is one of the best feelings ever. From my experience as a fashion designer, I know, this is true.”

The Barbados Museum & Historical Society is pleased to announce the exhibition

LOOKA: Dismantling the Colonial Gaze, launched on 20 July 2023.

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.

Responding to the Historic Postcard collection of the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, the artists offer unprecedented narratives through original works, and critically engage with, challenge and dismantle the ways in which Black bodies have been objectified, dehumanised, and reduced to stereotypes through the lens of colonialism.

The artists invite us to reconsider the power dynamics at play in the production and circulation of images, and offer alternative visual languages of the Caribbean that center Black agency and subjectivity.

For more information, please contact Curator Natalie McGuire at info@barbmuse.org.bb or +1 (246) 538 - 0201.

Congratulations to artist Jeannie Taylor who has had 2 etchings accepted in the Original Print exhibition ‘Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers International Original Print Exhibition’ at Bankside, UK, in September.
