Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events Magazine Sixteen years of the publication ALL ISSUES https://issuu.com/corriescott 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 visual arts event to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for your exhibition, classes, workshops, talks etc. 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. Corrie Scott Publisher

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. Corrie Scott

RAW was never meant to be polished. It was meant to be honest. Real. Artistic. Worthy. Three words. Three truths. A reminder that art does not need permission to be powerful, emotional, vulnerable, loud, broken, healing, or human. RAW 2.0 is the evolution of that idea. "A Dialogue of Men, Written in Art” explores the unseen layers beneath masculinity — identity, pressure, tenderness, memory, strength, silence, survival. Through paint, texture, form, and storytelling, the exhibition peels back the surface to reveal something deeply human at its core. This is not just an exhibition. It is conversation. Reflection. Presence. An experience rooted in what it means to be REAL. To create fearlessly. To remember that every story, every scar, every voice is worthy of being seen. Save the date for the next chapter of RAW. 📍 Caribbean Brushstrokes, Pelican Island 🗓 Opening Night: Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026 | 6:30 PM 🗓 Exhibition Closes: Saturday, June 27th, 2026 📞 Enquiries: +1 (246) 622-2310

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.” For more information, please contact info@barbmuse.org.bb
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.” For more information, please contact info@barbmuse.org.bb

This. This is just wonderful. Our youth. Creating. Seeing. “Both of our PYP 7 classes have been immersing themselves in the world of digital photography over the past two weeks as part of their trans-disciplinary theme, How We Express Ourselves. Through their photography work, students have been exploring creativity, perspective and visual storytelling while developing new technical skills behind the camera. Here is a snapshot (sorry!) of some of their work captured during their recent field trip to Codrington College.” - The Codrington School

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 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.” -Jeena Chatrani

“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
