BARBADOS ARTS EVENTS

January 2016

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.

Upcoming solo exhibition ‘The Eternal Feminine’ February 12 th at The Frame & Art Co -

http://issuu.com/corriescott/docs/art_directory_barbados_dec_2011/1

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.

“My intention is that my art reflect my life and concerns. I am at the beginning of my path to self-expression and visual language. My goal is to communicate visually. I try to make each image as beautiful as I can. My medium is traditional photography. From conception through framing, I perform all of the stages of my work.�

ARCHITECTURE: INDUSTRIAL - HONORABLE MENTION NICOLE PHILLIPS (Barbados) ‘Ghosts of Industries Past’ Entry description For centuries, the sugar industry has been a mainstay of the Barbadian economy. It was first introduced to the island in the 15th century by British settlers. And since then, Barbados has provided Britain and other countries with products like brown sugar, rum and molasses. But with rising productions costs and the advent of other industries like Tourism, sugar has largely taken a backseat and is in decline. Plantations which were once used for growing sugar cane crops are now being used for housing and other government projects. When I toured one of the last factories in operation on the island (called Portvale) early one Saturday morning, it felt like I was seeing a ghost. A tour of a sugar factory was a mandatory part of the school year for young children when I was growing up. But, it is possible that in 20 years time, this will all be a thing of the past. And factories like this will fade away, like the mists, as forgotten ghosts with no more stories to tell...

About the photographer “The people around me and the world at large both inspire and fascinate me and I am continuously learning from them. My foremost aim is to represent my subjects and my connection to them honestly. That honesty extends beyond the mere photo and encompasses emotions felt, by me and/or my subject. To quote the great Ansel Adams, I believe that “a great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed”. I shoot Landscapes, Nature, Urban, Portraiture, Pets and Wildlife, etc. I don't believe in limiting myself to one or a few select things but rather whatever is available. That is not to say that I don't have my favourites or personal projects. I believe in creating the best images that I possibly can, no matter the subject or the method.” http://ndawards.net/winners-gallery/nd-awards-2015/non-professional/industrial/hm/2045 Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bdoshighlander/

Created by an 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.

Bringing Art To The People kathymyearwood@gmail.com

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.

To keep up to date with our other activities, visit: http://www.freshmilkbarbados.com and like our Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/FreshMilkBarbados

Fresh Milk is seeking proposals from artists working outside of Barbados to apply for our international residency programme in late 2015 or Spring 2016. Available dates for the residencies to take place are between November 2 – 30, 2015 and February 29 – March 25, 2016. The deadline for applications is October 2, 2015.

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.
