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.

The Barbados Museum & Historical Society is pleased to announce the exhibition LOOKA: Dismantling the Colonial Gaze, which 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.

“The Barbados Museum & Historical Society would like to say thank you to our exhibition sponsor Dr. Adrian Richards, for supporting the vision of the participating artists!

Barbados Photographic Society

A young group in Barbados learns about the art of photography.

Photographer Charles McClean recently conducted a session on the basics of photography with the scout troop of St. Stephen's Primary School in collaboration with the Barbados Photographic Society.

Photographer Charles McLean was invited by the Scout Leader for the scout troop at the St Stephen's Primary School to organise a teaching session.

Charles requested use of the BPS library of cameras. Bradley Benskin BPS President was asked to attend and help.

Charles prepared a proposal to the BPS and submitted it requesting the use of the cameras. Victor Gittens BPS Vice President who is in charge of the library of cameras worked on this and Charles agreed to test, evaluate and service the cameras to help make this workshop be an event.

ARTIST PAINTS SAD PICTURE OF ART

Heather- Dawn Scott works on the floor of her home studio at Hastings, Christ Church, while one of her latest pieces, suspended from the ceiling, sways gently in the breezes.

The artwork she calls "NAG", built of wire in sections and covered with fabric which she painstakingly sewed to the frame, serves as a reminder to this Barbadian artist that she must continue to campaign for a home for Barbados' national art collection, despite others telling her not to waste her art materials as she is not likely to see a permanent National Art Gallery established in Barbados in her lifetime.

On the contrary, Scott is adamant that Barbados like other countries in the Caribbean deserves to have a place dedicated to showing off its art treasures.

She has been vocal and visible in protest for many years, creating protest banners and other art work and placing them in strategic positions, in the hope that enough people will take notice and raise their voices to stir the relevant authorities to action.

Shielded by the darkness of night a few months ago, she placed "NAG" on the plinth in Heroes Square, where once stood the statue of Rear Admiral Lord Nelson.

“I am nervous that what I am doing is illegal. I shouldn't be on Government's property putting up banners like the horse on the plinth," Scott said, confessing, "Everything was done by night. I measured up the plinth so that I would have a sturdy base; I put two little rails and tied him down to it firmly and securely.“

ANOTHER CASUALTY

Artist Heather Dawn Scott is passionate about the art landscape in Barbados. The protest piece was removed by the authorities after it had been sitting there for two weeks. It was just another casualty of Scott's protest collection which includes her first big banner, a painting celebrating Mozambique artist Malangatana, which she mounted on the rails around the ruined buildings of the old Barbados General Hospital on Jemmotts Lane, St Michael

Scott has also placed "at least six" protest banners at Block A Garrison, the place identified by Government for the setting up of a National Art Gallery. The veteran artist objects to the choice.

“They are saying it is, but it is not. Other islands have one. We don't, but we do have a fabulous collection and we are not allowed to see it. It is never shown. Why are we not seeing it? It belongs to the nation. School kids should be seeing it," she said.

Born in Barbados of a Barbadian mother and a Scottish father, she grew up in Pine Gardens in a dead end with lots of trees and bush and we built tree houses and we played in the gully". She attended St Gabriel's School where opportunities to escape to the art room and engage in the pastime for which she developed a liking, were always a welcome treat.

“One of my earliest terrors was when I had to leave St Gabriel's for Codrington High School. I always used to be the best in art. I got so scared that I would not be good at art when I went to this big school," Scott recalled. The opportunity to go to a bigger school did come when her mother remarried and the family relocated to England, the home of her stepfather.

“I was able to go to art school, Bournemouth and Poole College of Art, where I did environmental art and architectural art which was really geared towards making art for public spaces. I thought I would do graphics, because in those teenage years I thought graphics and advertising was very glamorous. But we had a foundation year and I did the foundation year which was fantastic because they gave you access to the dark room for photography; you did a bit of graphics; a little bit of sculpture, they really fed you a bit of everything." The idea of doing graphics later gave way to sculpting which she "loved" , and in that three-year period of study, she also developed a fondness for related skills such as the welding and carpentry.

Indeed, she thought she had found her calling in sculpture, but after receiving her art diploma, reality set in.

“I got my diploma and I knew that I was not going to make any money at any speed because I did not have a studio." She was then around age 21 and left setting out on an adventure.

"I got on a bicycle from Bournemouth and cycled through England to France, over the Pyrenees, back to Italy. I just slept wherever I was, sometimes in a ditch, sometimes in a pig sty on a pig farm... many people invited me in," Scott said. She ended up spending five years in Italy, earning meagre sums of money collected from "doing little paintings during the day ..making just enough to survive.

STOP AND PAINT

“Sometimes, I would be riding through a hilltop town in Tuscany and you would see this beautiful scene and I would stop there and paint; or someone would say paint my home and their friends would see what I did and ask to have their homes painted as well; or someone would say Paint my boat; some days I would add up enough to keep on cycling for a while" However, wanderlust and adventure soon gave way to home pangs and the desire to return to the Barbados that offered the young Scott freedom and most of all, the longing to reunite with her mother and sister, fellow artist and photographer Corrie Scott.

Being back home, she also discovered she was not going to be able to pursue the art she liked most at that time due to the near absence of galleries.

“You would have to push and beg and always get turned down. It was really hard. People were not looking at paintings, it was just a very select few." Scott recalled that period when artists in Barbados depended on art collectors to buy their work, noting there were wonderful pieces that remain part of private collections today, of which some works have been bequeathed to a national art gallery.

Scott is concerned about the state of art in Barbados and that school children, particularly those who are studying the creative disciplines, do not have the facility of a national art gallery. The passionate artist remains resolute in her campaign for a national home to be created for Barbados' art.

Our own Sheena Rose exhibiting at MOAD, Museum of African Disapora, San Francisco, USA.

Sept 27th 2023- March 3rd 2024

“How do artists use color to guide our perception? In this exhibition, curated by Key Jo Lee, MoAD’s inaugural Chief of Curatorial Affairs and Public Programs, a multigenerational and international group of contemporary Black artists will illuminate the importance of color to both the form and content of their work. Through a series of thematic couplings and groupings, each visitor will explore how each artist employs color to convey mood, identity, architecture, event, etc.

The exhibition, which features seventeen artists, will be accompanied by digital and analog educational tools and programs meant to equip our audiences with new and/or refined questions and language with which to engage contemporary Black art through color.”

Barbadian artist Versia Abeda Harris has been commissioned to do a very special piece honouring Sir Hugh Springer by All Souls College, Oxford, England.

Versia Harris / Hugh Springer 14 vii 2023

“Jessica Taylor of the International Curators Forum invited me to have lunch with Versia Harris (in first photo), the Barbadian visual artist, who has been commissioned to do a very special piece honouring Sir Hugh Springer by All Souls College, Oxford. (Given JT is Barbadian, in fact her aunt taught me in primary school!, there were three Barbadians there!).

Versia is puzzling over the second image as part of her research. Springer c. 1980 designed this fascinating coat of arms for himself when he became GovernorGeneral of Barbados. Its most interesting parts for me are at the two naked black arms each wielding a feathered pen in an almost defiant conspiratorial gesture, above two open books, with the Bearded Fig tree, Ficus Barbadiensis, anchoring the image, its roots delving in the coral rock of the island. A portrait of the special place of education in the values of the island? It will be a year until the work is completed. I can’t wait to see what she will do.”

“Barbados celebrates Emancipation Day on 1 August.

This is the day the island recognises the Slavery Abolition Act which was brought into effect on 1 August 1834 to grant emancipation for enslaved people across the British Empire.

The Slavery Abolition Act was followed by a four year ‘apprenticeship period’, which meant enslaved people continued to work for free for their previous owners in exchange for housing. This practice continued until 1 August 1838, when it was finally agreed that all enslaved people should be completely free.

Emancipation Day in Barbados is usually observed with an early morning march to the Bussa statue in Haggatt Hall, St Michael.

Bussa, also known as Busso or Bussoe, was born in Africa. He was brought to Barbados and worked on Bayleys Plantation in St Philip.

Bussa was the central figure in the largest slave rebellion on the island in 1816 when he led an uprising involving thousands of enslaved people which lasted for two days. He was killed during the rebellion, but the event left an indelible mark on the island’s history.

The Emancipation Statue, affectionately known as Bussa, was created by Barbadian-based sculptor Karl Broodhagen and installed in 1985. In 1998, Bussa was chosen as one of Barbados’ 10 National Heroes.

Emancipation Day is a time of reflection, when the country remembers its past, and gives thanks for the people who sacrificed so much for our freedom.

It is a day filled with historic resonance which deserves recognition and respect.”

The Emancipation Statue, affectionately known as Bussa, was created by Barbadian-based sculptor Karl Broodhagen and installed in 1985. In 1998, Bussa was chosen as one of Barbados’ 10 National Heroes.

“Sculptor Karl Broodhagen was born in Georgetown, Guyana in 1909 and moved to Barbados at the age of 15. He is best known for three iconic statues on the island – the Bussa Emancipation statue at the St Barnabus roundabout; the statue of cricketer Sir Garfield Sobers in front of Kensington Oval; and the statue of one of Barbados’ former Prime Ministers, Sir Grantley Adams, at Government Headquarters.

Karl or ‘Broodie’ as he was known to his friends, was initially employed as a tailor’s apprentice which gave him a unique appreciation for the human body which would dominate his artistic work. He started to paint in the 1930’s and sculpt about a decade later. In 1947 he was given an opportunity by the headmaster at one of Barbados’ top schools, Combermere, to establish an art department, which was one of the first of its kind in the island’s secondary schools.

After exhibiting some of his pieces at the British Council, Karl won a scholarship in the early 1950’s to study Fine Arts at Goldsmith’s College in London, on his return to Barbados he went back to Combermere and taught art until his retirement in 1996.

By the 1970’s Karl was well known in Barbados and throughout the Caribbean for his art and his passion for painting and sculpture.

He was especially renowned for his appreciation of the human form, particularly of West Indian women, and is said to have once told an art critic that one aim of his work was “to replace the European standards of beauty still slavishly accepted in the West Indies by standards based on the local inhabitants themselves.”

In 1981 he was commissioned by the government to create a sculpture showing a ‘slave in revolt’. Drawing on the story of Bussa, who was killed during a slave uprising on the island in 1816, Karl created a powerful and moving statue of this National Hero despite not really knowing what he looked like and it has since become a major landmark.

Karl sculpted Sir Grantley Adams in 1988 and was given a Pride of Barbados award for his works in 1989.

In 2002, as part of National Heroes Day Celebrations in Barbados, Karl’s Sir Garfield Sobers statue, showing the famous batsman in his full glory while hitting a shot, was unveiled.

‘Broodie’ died in August 2002 at the age of 93 but his artistic legacy to Barbados undoubtedly lives on. He is credited with opening the island up to the international art scene and showing that Barbados could influence the world as well as the world influencing Barbados. And of course, his famous statutes are still standing and are photographed by thousands of people every year.”

Frangipani Art Gallery will be reopening at Haymans Market, St. Peter, an old sugar factory, which is due to open on September 1st. Keep tuned!

Curator Marilda Weatherhead

HAYMANS VILLAGE & MARKET.

Haymans Village and Market is a centre offering shopping, recreation and entertainment with a farmer's market, shops, art, crafts, restaurants, kid's attractions etc. located at the old Haymans Factory in St. Peter and opening in September 2023.

Mural commissioned by The National Cultural Foundation Barbados.

Designed by Shane Eastmond.

Created with Christina Murray, Heather-Dawn Scott and Don Small.

“This vibrant symbolic art work spans over 35ft (horizontally) and depicts a dreamlike landscape of the future crop sector in Barbados through the eyes of the youth with elements of the past and the future crop life symbolising the possibilities in a new way forward in futurism.

The mural seeks to illustrate the transformative nature the younger demographic holds for potential for positive change and how progressive advancement requires releasing yourself from the conventional and venturing into unfamiliar territory.

In conclusion, the " Sugar Reimagined" mural encapsulates the human experience of self-discovery through the pursuit of progress by embracing change for the sake of the generation we leave behind.”

Piece of Barbados Gallery now open at Artsplash Gallery and Cafe in Hastings.

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.”

Helping the young talent where we can. This pandemic has created financial difficulties for so many in the arts and they lose any chance to make a career of art.

I just received a donation of art supplies being kindly given by artist Jeena Chatrani, curator of Antillean Gallery of Art online gallery. Thank you Jeena.

These will go to a very talented 17 year old to help her keep drawing and painting.

Would you consider looking around your painting/studio space and see if there are any art supplies that you may not want or need and help the future talents of Barbados. Either give directly to artists whom you feel may need the help or contact me via private message here and drop off the arts supplies and I will happily disburse them to those in need. Please be aware of the dignity and pride of those receiving.

Please don’t add their names here. Private message me. Allow them to decide if they want their names added to art supplies being given to them.

Thank you

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.”
