It becomes clearer every day that America is one big melting pot. The reasons people immigrate here are vast and varied, but the one thing that is clear of those who begin another life in the U.S. is that it will never be like their first home. They’ve been thrown “into the mix” per se.“

Bahamian artist El Padrino was gone for ‘a minute’, and now he is back with a new song and a new video. It is gaining positive reviews locally and internationally.

The Bahamas has seen many art shows over the years, but rarely comes along an artist brave enough to present a body of work that defies convention. The Central Bank of The Bahamas opened the year with one if its most provocative exhibitions to grace its gallery. Bahamian master artist John Beadle’s recent work, ‘Nature’s Lines’ draws our attention to the natural beauty of a line we often disregard.
The exhibition ends Friday, February 17, 2012
