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.

Press Release Welcome to O2 Beach Club & Spa : The Home of Worlds Collide Barbados With a vibrant real estate market and a seemingly perpetual influx of tourists taking escapades to the island’s shores, Barbados is becoming the epicenter of Caribbean luxury.

Barbados is the next stop for Worlds Collide Art Show and on May 18,2025 the beautiful island will experience the Caribbean’s most prestigious art show. After three successful stagings in Jamaica, Worlds Collide and Hi Esteem Agency are partnering with the mesmeric O2 Beach Club & Spa to bring a unique blend of art, culture, and luxury to the island's south coast.

“Ocean Hotels is thrilled to be a major sponsor of the Worlds Collide Art Show, an event that beautifully showcases the depth of local and regional talent and the richness of our cultural landscape. Supporting the arts and local artists is an integral part of our brand story and is an essential part of our commitment to fostering creativity and innovation, both for our local community and the visitors who seek authentic and inspiring experiences. We believe that collaborations like this not only celebrate artistic expression but also help shape the future of cultural tourism in the Caribbean.” said Group General Manager, Patricia Affonso - Daas.

Worlds Collide Art Show aims to bridge the gap between art and luxury in the Caribbean, showcasing the region's rich cultural heritage and its potential for high-end tourism. By emphasizing cultural tourism, initiatives like Worlds Collide Art Show are helping to expand the region's tourism industry beyond its traditional focus on sun, sand, and sea.

The feature artist at this year's show is Bajan visual art genius Shane Eastmond, who will be exhibiting his stunning paintings and performing a live painting demonstration.

“It’s an Absolute honor to be a part of worlds collide and to be the feature artist. I have been following the brand as it has moved around regionally and internationally and was always looking forward to this moment. I’m excited about what we all are bringing forward to share with the world.

For a long time art and entertainment has been a part of my journey and that changed the entire creative landscape around me and other creatives. I love the new fresh perspective Worlds Collide brings to this idea and I think everyone who takes part will be inspired.” said Eastmond.

Eastmond will be joined by a talented lineup of performers, including Worlds Collide founder Stefan Amali, Lagoon Wavy, Malaika Croney, and Islandboyray, who will take the stage with live performances that blend music, art, and culture.

Worlds Collide Art Show is a unique event that brings together art, cuisine, and luxury to create an unforgettable experience. With its focus on showcasing regional art and talent, the show is helping to promote cultural tourism and establish the Caribbean as a hub for highend art and culture.

Worlds Collide would like to show appreciation to its sponsors for Barbados : Trident Wines , Coca-Cola, Dasani , The Nation News, Maivue , Island Villas and Music n Echo .

Barbados Today News

https://barbadostoday.bb/.../reparations-exhibition-opens/

“Art has always been a powerful tool for storytelling, resistance, and healing.” This sentiment was expressed by Andrea King, Director of Culture & Arts for Love and Living and curator of an art exhibition inspired by the CARICOM 10-Point Plan for Reparations.

The showcase, which opened Saturday night at Queen’s Park Gallery, was made possible by a grant from the Caribbean Culture Fund (CCF) that supports various art forms, including visual arts, photography, film, music, dance, theatre, and literature.

King explained, “The fund is committed to supporting Caribbean cultural producers in their quest to create freely and innovatively, making the best possible use of cultural, technological, and creative resources available to them.” She explained, “There are two major purposes of this visual arts project, knowing and understanding the existence of the CARICOM 10-point plan and then bringing visual artists to the centre of this conversation on reparations .”

The fund promotes social and cultural justice and fosters intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding. She said, “The CCF specifically said they wanted this project to be successful simply because of the theme of reparations, and this was the only project in about 400 applications that dealt with this topic of reparations.”

Caribbean collaboration was a requirement. Jamaica and Trinidad were incorporated with exhibitions taking place in both countries.

King added, “We want to encourage CARICOM to include the three-island exhibition for the CARIFESTA Visual Arts exhibition that is coming in August.

King informed, “Participation in this exhibition was by open call, and approximately 25 artists submitted over 50 pieces. Their thoughts and comments on reparation at this time are on display.

Their voice represents where we are in our quest for reparations. Theirs is a poignant statement from the voice of the people.”

She said, “I want to encourage teachers especially to bring their upper school students to see the exhibition and to encourage discussion on the theme. Our young people are the ones who will continue the quest and fight for reparations, and we have a responsibility to educate them in both serious and entertaining ways.”

Among those in attendance was Trevor Prescod, Chairman of the Barbados National Task Force on Reparations. He said, “Art must be at the centre of the revolutionary change that we have to make.”

He emphasised, “I believe that Art is significant, I believe for the transformation at this juncture in our history, you can’t write it just in the English language. Art has to be the greatest weapon for educational change in our society.”

Describing the exhibition, Prescod said “This is a mirror of a civilised people engaged in struggle for survival.” He praised the layout’s chronology, noting, “From the beginning of great people and then all of the different challenges that they have had and of the achievements that they have had, it is also a mirror of respect and love for each other.”

Barbados’ Ambassador to CARICOM, David Comissiong, was emotionally moved by the exhibition.

He shared, “You get a real sense of a very troubled history.” He noted, “We have not used the arts in a serious way in our CARICOM reparations campaign. We have not put the champions of reparations in place — the artists — and so we really have to thank Andrea and her team for doing this.”

Commending the artists, Comissiong stated, “You artists have done a very good job of perceptively and sensitively examining that history.” He emphasised the importance of their role, asserting, “The artists have to play a critical role in helping us to articulate this reparations idea, to educate our people, and to bring them onboard.”

A discussion on reparations is set to take place February 26 at 6 p.m. at the same venue. The exhibition continues until March 1st. “ (STT)

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.

Jeena Chatrani Antilles Gallery. https://m.facebook.com/AntilleanGalleryofArt/ “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.”

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.

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.

“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
