Almost one year ago, the largest collection of Bahamian visual artists’ work was displayed at the Waterloo Center for the Arts in a historic moment for Bahamian art and culture.

After a successful reception by the audiences in Iowa, “Master Artists of The Bahamas” has traveled across states to Tallahassee, Florida to open at the Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA) at Florida State University.

As a hub of creative energy, Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts is a shifting art space, reflecting its many residents and visitors in the splashes of artwork in its public spaces – yet tucked away into an unassuming façade in the heart of Chippingham.

Most recently, however, its back entrance has transformed at the hands of international artist-in-resident Chawne Paige and a dozen volunteers into a welcoming space appropriate for the exciting creativity buzzing behind its walls.

Just installed last week, a new mural for Chives Cafe at New Providence Community Center on Blake Road. Stop in for lunch and check out Dede Brown’s work.
