VISUAL ARTS EVENTS BARBADOS

Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/175529135827747 Instagram. @visualartsbarbadosevents Visualartsbarbadosevents 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 TIES THAT BIND ’— bound by FAMILY, shaped by memory, revealed through art."

At Caribbean Brushtrokes Gallery OPENING NIGHT Wednesday July 15th, 6:30pm.

MEET THE ARTISTS: Saturday July 18 2:00pm CLOSING: Saturday August 8 Building 1, Pelican Island, St.Michael Enquiries +1 (246) 622-2310 “In the Caribbean, the tradition of storytelling runs deep — carried from one generation to the next through memory, family, love, and lived experience.

At Caribbean Brushstrokes, we are pleased to carry on this tradition with "The Ties That Bind — bound by FAMILY, shaped by memory, revealed through art."

An exhibition that brings together artists connected by family, creativity, and the bonds that shape us — the ties we inherit, and the ties we make along the way.

The exhibition celebrates family not only where we come from, but something we continue to create.”

-Caribbean Brushstrokes

Ties that Bind: Art exhibition of 17 families https://nowgrenada.com/2026/07/ties-that-bind-art-exhibition-of-17-families/

‘Ties that Bind’: Art exhibition of 17 families at Caribbean Brushstrokes Gallery, Barbados.

Arts/Culture/Entertainment, Business.

by Susan Mains Artist Full feature here https://nowgrenada.com/2026/07/ties-that-bind-art-exhibition-of-17-families/ “When does a just a notion, a good idea, a perhaps-someday for Caribbean art become a reality? When powerhouse of a gallerist Rae Skinner puts her mind and hands to it.

A decades-long collector, Skinner opened the gallery Caribbean Brushstrokes in 2024 in Pelican Village, Bridgetown, Barbados. In her previous career, she was a banker and visited the islands in that capacity, always seeking out art. She met many artists through their work long before meeting them in person. Her vision evolved into providing a gallery where Caribbean art could be experienced. “We don’t see enough of each other’s art,” she said.

“Ties that Bind” opened at Caribbean Brushstrokes to an astounding turnout of art lovers. Of course, the theme was appealing. Seventeen family groups displayed their work, all of Caribbean heritage. Mother/sons, grandfathers/children, mothers/sisters; some deceased, where the child was now carrying on the artmaking tradition. Barbados, St Lucia, Trinidad and Grenada were represented. In spite of the many artists, the work was cohesive and looked like it belonged together. Strong colours and contrasts characterised the work, and familial themes arose. The search for “identity” was notably missing — these artists knew exactly who they were. Also missing were the romanticised for tourism familiar tropes. Each story told was unique.”

BARBADOS ARCHIVES DEPARTMENT SEASON OF EMANCIPATION 2026 JOURNEYS TO FREEDOM Designed by Artists Alliance Barbados Artists Alliance Barbados designed and installed JOURNEYS TO FREEDOM for viewers to engage with the concept of emancipation as constantly evolving journeys through cultures, laws, and technologies that simultaneously facilitate and constraint the moral autonomy of humans to exist and to pursue personal fulfilment. Though the indicators of freedom are numerous, the exhibition journeys through Personal Freedom, Economic Freedom, and Civic and Political Freedom.

The elements of the exhibition work to highlight the Archives Department as a cultural institution for patrons “to experience history” from a perspective other than “old documents” and “dry history books.”

The exhibition begins with a TIMELINE of Acts and Actions of Captivity and Freedom, and with a series interpretive panels for the reader, objects and art for the visual learner, callouts to engage the conceptual thinker and bring all viewers into the 21 st century, it ends with an interactive section asking you to cast a vote.

The Archives Department is displaying the following:  1661 Slave Code (transcribed)  1834 Emancipation Act (transcribed)  Manumissions Register (original)  Baptism Register of The Holy Innocents Church (original)  Burial record of Kitty Africa believed to be the last Africa-born enslaved person (original)  House of Assembly Report on 1816 Insurrection (transcribed)  Instructions for the Management of a Plantation in Barbados, Lascelles, et al (transcribed)  Inventory of Kirton’s Plantation 1818 naming enslaved persons (digital print).

Among the artifacts on display are a selection of “whipping tools” including batons and a cane from the Barbados Police Service, a short dog hunter and a school strap.The objects are installed to tell the story of culinary freedom From Rations to Gourmet – and the story of education – From Gang to Gown.

It is said that the two common theses of all Barbadian artists are identity and freedom, and the artworks selected for this exhibition from the three ethnicities of modern Barbados are reflective and should lead to meaningful interactions.

In this space, Sian Pampellonne’s “One Blood Line” is on a wall in contrast to its display at the recently concluded “Pause” exhibition at Queens Park Gallery where it was horizontal on a pedestal. Hanging vertically, the blood lines mix and become fewer and fewer until we have the ‘Barbados blood line’ – no matter where we came from or how we arrived, we are all Barbadian now.

Tracy DeOlivere’s “Blind Rectification” with the superhero balancing the scales of independence and colonisation quietly asks us to think critically about how we are managing our present and our future; while Ahmed Rasheed Broodhoo’s fine art photography, “Bussa” reflects the majesty, might and strength of the enslaved ancestors. It is hung above the ballot box where you mark your X against the question, Are you free?

ShaQ Hewitt has recreated a wattle and daub siding and Heather Dawn Scott made a poignant rag doll – just 18cm long. These intimate the lived reality of the enslaved – housing fashioned from river tamarind and clay, and a child’s item of comfort that a mother may have fashioned from her own insufficient clothing.

Other works of art are “Freedom”, an original spoken word by Cyndi Celeste Marshall, a carved drum by Ashanti Trotman and an image montage of Barbados today by Jaryd Niles-Morris.

The exhibition runs until 31 August, office hours only. Guided tours can be arranged.

DEMETRA KAMITSIS

“Fstopgypsies Photography At Fstopgypsies Nicholas Carlos Jordan & Demetra Kamitsis Photography, we believe every photograph should do more than capture a moment, it should tell a story, evoke emotion, and become a lasting work of art. Our style blends fine art, street, portrait, landscape, macro, and architectural photography, transforming everyday scenes into compelling visual narratives. Whether it’s the quiet beauty of nature, the energy of city streets, or the emotion shared between people, we look beyond what is seen to capture what is felt.

Every session and every print is approached with creativity, patience, and an artist’s eye for light, composition, and authentic moments. We create imagery that is timeless, meaningful, and designed to be treasured for generations.

In addition to commissioned photography, Fstopgypsies offers a curated collection of limited-edition fine art prints—signature pieces created to bring character, elegance, and conversation into homes, offices, and galleries.

Photography is more than our profession; it’s our passion and our way of preserving stories that deserve to be remembered.

See the world differently. Experience it through the lens of Fstopgypsies.” https://demk07.merlin-site.com/ https://www.instagram.com/fstopgypsies https://www.instagram.com/demk07 https://www.facebook.com/nicholas.c.jordan.3

Am I a Bad Girl, Nanny? Cries of Innocence and of Experience

by Joscelyn Gardner February 27th - October 3rd at the Barbados Museum & Historical Society.

“The BMHS is pleased to announce the exhibition Am I a Bad Girl, Nanny? Cries of Innocence and of Experience!

In this new body of work, internationally recognised Barbadian artist Joscelyn Gardner engages with two ambrotypes in the museum’s historic photograph collection as sites of fragments, silences, and ethical tension. Through lithography, embroidery, and layered material processes, she imagines a visual world seen through the eyes of Eva Douglas Richards, the child in the care of Harriet Thomas Weekes, depicted in a rare shared portrait from the 1850s.

This exhibition invites us to reflect on the complexities of colonial legacies shaped by care, power, and intimacy.”

Harriet Thomas Weekes: The Right to Opacity at The Barbados Museum & Historical Society.

Feb 27th - Oct 3rd.

“Announcing the exhibition Harriet Thomas Weekes: The Right to Opacity, which engages two rare photographic records of a Black Barbadian woman who lived from enslavement into legal freedom (1815–1897).

Rather than seeking to tell her story in full, this exhibition embraces what cannot be fully known, honouring Harriet without reducing her to the limits of the colonial archive.

Through photographs, documents, and community voices, visitors are invited into a space of listening, reflection, and shared meaning-making, where presence matters more than completeness.”

ARTS DIRECTORY BARBADOS

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.

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.”

BUY LOCAL

Buy Local. A Collection of Local Artists and Craftspersons to display their work Created by Lilias Gardner “Welcome all, please consider buying local and supporting small business.

Welcome to Caribbean Brushstrokes, a dynamic space dedicated to celebrating the vibrant artistry of the Caribbean. Located in the heart of Barbados, our gallery showcases the diverse and rich cultural expressions of the region, featuring works from both renowned and emerging artists across the islands and diaspora.

Caribbean Brushstrokes is more than a gallery—it is a hub for creativity, connection, and education.

Our mission is to foster a deeper appreciation for Caribbean art by creating an environment where artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts can engage in meaningful dialogue. Through exhibitions, artist talks, and workshops, we aim to inspire a greater understanding of the stories, heritage, and vision behind every piece.

Designed as a multipurpose space, the gallery also hosts book launches, intimate events, spoken word performances, and more, ensuring there’s always something happening to spark curiosity and engagement. Soon to include a wine bistro, the gallery provides a welcoming atmosphere for visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of artistic expression.

We take pride in challenging traditional notions of art, embracing forms like tattoos, jewelry, textiles, and sculpture alongside traditional paintings and photography. Our goal is to push boundaries, celebrate creative output, and make art accessible to all while building a vibrant cultural scene in Barbados.

At Caribbean Brushstrokes, every visit is an invitation to discover the stories of the Caribbean through the eyes of its artists.

“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
