Following last year’s successful fine art photographic exhibition, Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts is delighted to announce the opening of “Deception”, an exhibition featuring a new collection of innovative photographic art created by seventeen artists from The Bahamas.

Opening on December 8, the images will remain on view until January 7, 2012. “Deception” is the second annual fine art photographic exhibition at Popopstudios and the first to focus on a central theme.

Negative Space, featuring experimental new paintings and objects by John Cox, opens Friday, November 25, 2011 at 6:00pm at Popopstudios.

Amy Collins, an intern at Popopstudios this past summer, is seeking a home for a sweet-natured, little potcake she has befriended. The dog was hit by a car and run over and has been nursed back to health. If anyone can offer her a good, loving home and make her part of their family forever, please contact Amy Collins at 325-4022 or 376-4866.

One of the official judges, John Cox, said he was encouraged by the level and quality of work on display. Like the governor, he also pointed out that teachers, parents and institutions like the Central Bank deserve to be thanked for their encouragement.

“Artists don’t really come out of a vacuum, artists really come out of a strong fabric of creators and thinkers and people who encourage them and give them proper guidance,” he said.

The hands-on abstract workshop entitled “In The Likeness” was inspired by the Bahamas’ most prolific abstract artist Kendal Hanna. Participants were exposed to the materials, techniques and process involved in some of Mr Hanna’s best work.

Starting in the new year, those interested in pursuing art or building upon their artistic practice and dialogue can do so at four art classes being offered by Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts.
