Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events 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 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.

SHE....is about shape, colour, texture, embellishment — about layering and juxtaposing different materials, about creating something from nothing. It is about resilience and endurance, strength and ingenuity.... about paddling the family canoe and her own canoe. For the artists it is about trying to see, to interpret and to understand SHE. Heidi Berger, painter, is known for her portraits of women, especially those of the Caribbean....

Jason Hope, sculptor, has investigated the women around him through sculpture, constantly in search of…. SHE.

‘The Changing Face Of Barbadian Landscapes’ exhibition Wednesday April 4th ­ June 4th at The Barbados Museum.

Do you wonder...how the hills and coasts of Barbados have changed?How Barbados' many houses have shaped its land? Then this show is for you.

JUSTIN SMALL PROFILE My work explores memories of an emerging masculinity through reenactments of childhood play. Images of young males at play speak to the social programming of masculinity while conveying captured memories, but they also investigate play as a form of escapism.

ERROL BRADSHAW Submittion to the 'Sidewalk of the Americas' exhibition and the required rationale for its relationship to the IADB's 'Inclusion and Diversity' challenge is as follows:The experience gleaned by elderly people in their efforts to actualise youthful ambitions can be a motivational incentive for youth, were their stories to be rendered in art, as shown in this work featuring an old fishing boat Captain's remembrance of his boyhood ambition, as driven by his experience on the beach of the fishing village at Oistins, Barbados, where he played. This piece relates to the diversity and inclusion challenge through its emphasis on ignored demographics in development strategies The role of the elderly through celebrated remembrance, and that of the youth through constructive play.
