Month: September 2011

A stellar cast of young women artists, including Popop-based artist Dede Brown and Kachelle Knowles, an intern at Popop, will be featured in the Public Treasury Art Programme’s (PTAP) upcoming exhibition ‘Bahama Mama’ which investigates the historical, cultural and social aspects of Bahamian women.

Textile artist and quilt maker Jan Elliott will be spending September 11, 2011 at Popopstudios making flag garlands adorned with peace symbols to mark the anniversary of this world-changing event 10 years after.

An open invitation is extended to the public to drop in and participate in the activities related to this historic day.

Khia Poitier, a winner of the Popopstudios Junior Residency Prize (PJRP) in 2010, is now a student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she is pursuing a degree in illustration.

RISD is one of the highest-rated fine arts colleges in the US and Khia follows in the footsteps of many other Bahamian artists who attended the school.

The “Kendal Hanna – Happy Birthday to Me” catalogue is now available.

The catalogue, designed by artist Nicholas Meicholas, is a retrospective of Hanna’s works over his near sixty-year career and was produced as part of the Retrospective exhibition at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas.

Margot Bethel’s solo exhibition “Departure” at Popopstudios – featuring her new mixed media work and paintings – closes this Saturday September 3. If you haven’t seen it yet, stop by.

Where do the boundaries of nation, personal identity and environment begin and end? Where do they intersect?

This past Thursday at the Ipswich Art School in Ipswich, the UK, Bahamian artist Dede Brown and UK-based artist Bettina Furnée presented the work they completed during their residencies abroad in an exhibition titled “Material Response”.

Due to complications resulting from Hurricane Irene, the Opening of Omar Richardson’s Exhibition at the Central Bank of The Bahamas, which was scheduled to open tonight (September 1, 2011), has been postponed until further notice.
