Year: 2012

Posters for the eight years of The Bahamas International Film Festival have been as varied as the artists behind them, yet always offered a breathtaking spin on their slogan “Cinema in Paradise.” Now The Bahamas International Film Festival is opening up their poster design in a competition for artists living and practicing in The Bahamas.

Bahamas International Film Festival (BIFF) is accepting submissions for the 9th Annual Bahamas International Film Festival 2012 Poster Competition. Deadline Monday April 30th, 2012 no extensions.

Patrons expecting the usual display of colorful work at the Colour of Harmony exhibition instead came upon a coup of sorts by the College of the Bahamas art majors. The students displayed paintings and unglazed ceramics in various shades of grey, conveying their collective shades of anger, grief, accusation, disappointment, betrayal and distress over what they believe has been a systematic denial of their rights to necessary space and equipment.

In the past 6 years, well over 1,000 riders have pedaled over 40,000 miles to raise money to help improve the lives of Bahamians with cancer. One of those riders each year has been Popopstudios founder, John Cox. In addition to being chief curator at the NAGB, director of Popopstudios, an instructor at the College of the Bahamas, an active artist and family man, Cox is also an avid cyclist.

John Cox will serve as the primary host on the NAGB’s new radio show “The NAGB: Blank Canvas”, airing at 6:30pm every Wednesday on Guardian Radio 96.9 FM.

Friday, April 13, 2012 from 7:30pm until 10:00pm at the Hub, downtown, Nassau.

Paul Robinson, director of choruses at the J. Graham Brown High School in Louisville, KY. is leading a group of musicians on a cruise to Nassau.
