BARBADOS ARTS EVENTS BARBADOS ARTS EVENTS JANUARY 2015

Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events This is a completely free and unsponsored 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 or a new piece of work 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.

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.

DEREK ANDRE WENT “I work with colour and form, light and natural pattern, inspired, almost always, by the beauty of the Caribbean, the shades and shadows of earth, the gorgeous, verdant greens that cover that, and the wonderfully colourful flora and fascinating fauna that readily abound and constantly delight. Into this abundance I bring my eclectic experience of a broad and interesting life in the islands, interspersed with jaunts out into the wider world, coupled with the curious juxtaposition of a very rich and flavoursome classical education in the Arts. All the myths and legends, the many names of God, the universe of symbols, words and all their power, these fill and feed me as well, and in my artistic process, spontaneous in its prime spark, I uncover layer after layer of meaning and sublime messages that slowly emerge and find their intuitive place in my work as I paint. In many of my portrait paintings it is often what I know or imagine the history of my subject to be that finds detailed revelation across their skin and spills out across their environment…a personal story of this life with all its light and shadow, its joys and sorrows. Sometimes the message is graphic in its simplicity, often succulent with tropical colour and natural beauty or then suddenly infinite in depth of shaded meaning with windows opening onto to the soul of every viewer. These paintings are representative of my ongoing explorations into using digital information in the manner of a classical medium. Like an intricate mosaic in which one has control of every single square tile of colour, I use pixels, to provide me with a fluid palate of seemingly infinite colours, hues and possibilities where the only limit is my own imagination. “ The wide variety of subject matter makes the work particularly well suited for interior decoration in both corporate and private home settings. Each piece is usually quite large and can be produced to fill any sized space requirement.

For enquiries about my work I may be contacted at: “Karobon”, Tent Bay, St. Joseph, Barbados.

Holders Season 2015 Programme: Holders Season, the Caribbean’s International Arts Festival, returns for its 22nd year on Saturday 7th March – Saturday 21st March. The Little Theatre in the scenic gardens of Holders Plantation House is the venue for a programme bursting with energy, featuring 9 shows of diverse music; jazz, classical, pop, world and folk, outrageous comedy, artful theatre and our wildly popular Dinner Shows on the classic Holders House Gallery.

Saturday 7th & Monday 9th March Cabaret Dinner Two nights of music, magic and variety in the intimate setting of the Holders gallery. Over a three course dinner on the atmospheric Holders Gallery, enjoy at close quarters the talents of three internationally acclaimed artists all of whom need to be seen to be believed…. Featuring Joe Stilgoe (piano), Michael Gee (magician) Desiree Kongerod (aerialist/acrobat).

Wednesday 11th March The Music of Hollywood – Songs on Film Award-winning pianist, singer, songwriter and film buff Joe Stilgoe pays tribute to 100 years of Hollywood cinema and the film music that shaped his own musical life. Beginning with The Jungle Book and charting a course through the most memorable moments of music in film, Joe and his remarkable band will give you the perfect afternoon at the movies. With Joe’s famous improvisational skills this cinematic show will be unique each time. Joe is joined by the massively talented Ben Reynolds (drums) and Thomas Farmer (bass).

Thursday 12th March Cajun Night with The Savoy Family An evening of infectious traditional music from Louisiana and with some great tastes to match! The Savoys are without any question the first family of Cajun music, but fame and fancy titles aren’t their thing. Despite having played on some of the biggest stages in the world, they know that Cajun’s true spirit is more likely to be found at the jam sessions back at their famous Savoy Music Center near Eunice, Louisiana. The Savoys bring their musical joy to the Holders stage together with their spicy cuisine…

Saturday 14th March Cuban Night - Roberto Fonseca Holders is thrilled to welcome one of the giants of the international jazz scene, Cuban maestro Roberto Fonseca. Instrumental in the global renaissance of Cuban music, Roberto is a worldrenowned pianist famous for fusing Latin jazz, urban music, and African rhythms with the sounds of his heritage. Born in Havana in 1975, he first began playing the piano at age eight and since graduating with a Master’s degree in composition, he has taken the world by storm both with his solo and ensemble tours.

Monday 16th March Theatre Night – Black is the Color of my Voice A play with music, inspired by the life of singer Nina Simone. Written and performed by African American actor Apphia Campbell.

Tuesday 17th March Classical Night - American Soul and the City A fantastically eclectic programme performed by two magnificent young artists, who capture the essence of the American Dream: freedom, hope, innovation and boundless possibilities. Pianist Christina McMaster and Violinist Lizzie Ball perform music from the Soulful South to City Sidewalks…with colourful splashes of Latin America. Music by Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Gershwin, Piazzolla, Debussy and more!

Saturday 21st March GALA Night featuring BLAKE We welcome the return by popular demand of the UK’s most sophisticated 3- piece singing group Blake, their stunning repertoire of classical and contemporary music are favourites with Holders audiences. Canadian singer songwriter Sarah Boulton makes her first appearance at Holders Season.

SHOOT OR KILL ON SIGHT! SAVE OUR FISH AND OUR REEFS! “I've been dreading the day that I finally saw my first live Lion Fish in less that 20 feet of water... and it happened last week.

For any of my followers who are unaware, Lion Fish are not native to the Atlantic Ocean and have been traced to Florida where it is suspected they were dumped into the sea by careless owners. They have quickly spread from Florida right down the island chain to Barbados and possibly South America.

They are voracious predators and consume all the small fish on a reef. The worst part is that they have no natural enemy's in the Atlantic so they are multiplying rapidly.

There is a "shoot or kill on sight" recommendation by most fisheries or government bodies in the region.

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a lion fish spear now. Those beautiful feathery spines are poisonous, but the one good thing about them is that they taste delicious. Handle with care .�

'The Coral Stone Village Meeting' by Unknown artist Each piece which has been positioned and topped with other pieces of coral stone. In rows.

The front row close to the sea appear to be 'the elders' as they have a little more space between themselves and the 'people'.

Created by Philip King who lives up by Cave Hill. who comes during the week to Batts Rock Bay to build these 'meetings' of coral. It is ever evolving as some are vandalised or the sea knocks them down.

Fresh Milk is pleased to start the new year by welcoming Tiffany Boyle & Jessica Carden of the Mother Tongue curatorial project as our first international residents for 2015. They will be on the platform from January 26 – February 20.

In an effort to cultivate discussions about the arts starting at a young age while engaging with the community, Fresh Milk will implement an outreach programme using the resources available in The Colleen Lewis Reading Room (CLRR). One of the many challenges faced by young creatives is, despite their artistic gifts, they often struggle when it comes to speaking and writing comprehensively about their work. This is a skill that would benefit immensely from reading, whether specifically arts oriented texts or even well written fiction; gaining an appreciation for articulate material is imperative to mastering one’s own practice.

Fresh Milk proposes to be the go-to point for refining these skills, beginning at CSEC level when children are expected to take their research and written abilities to a higher standard, all the way up to providing MA or PhD candidates with a deep pool of knowledge and unique material which they can draw upon. The Fresh Milk team will work with secondary school teachers in this area to construct a programme which will bring the students to Fresh Milk to show them the studio and reading room, letting them know that there is an environment available which can cater to their academic and creative needs.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY POETS www.lxpbarbados.org

MISSION The Mission of the League of Extraordinary Poets (LXP) is threefold; 1. To nurture those involved in the arts, with a special emphasis on poets and spoken word artists; 2. To edutain the public through exposure to our art, and 3. To use the voices of the artists to bring awareness to, and to actively work towards addressing issues of importance in our society.

VISION The LXP was founded on the principle that no art form exists in a vacuum. It is inexplicably tied to society, culture and time in which it is created, and that artists can improve their skills, and inspire one another when they operate in a close knit community of other like-minded artists, committed to positive feedback and professionalism in pursuing their art to its highest and best potential.

The LXP sees spoken word and other forms of poetry and lyrical commentary as art forms which are not only able to express the personal vision, emotions and stories of the individual artist, but also as vehicles to speak to social issues not addressed in other forums and to educate the public in the hopes of bringing positive change to the society in which we live.
