Popopstudios’ Education Officer, Katrina Cartwright has secured three prominent, well-respected professional Bahamian artists as the instructors for the camp. They are: Carla Campbell, Jace McKinney and Michael Edwards.

Popop is very pleased to announce that June Collie has adopted Anejo. Though we miss him at Popop, we are most relieved and simply overjoyed that he is in a good home with June and her family.

Popopstudios-based ceramics artist Katrina Cartwright is in the process of making mugs which will be featured at “Coffee Morning Wednesdays” at Antonius Roberts Studio and Gallery at Hillside House.

The 2012 junior resident artists are getting started with various activities and projects at Popopstudios.

Though we love him dearly, it is the general consensus that Popopstudios is not the ideal home for Anejo.

As part of Popopstudios’ ongoing educational programming initiative a summer camp will be held to cater to aspiring young artists between the ages of 8-16 years. During the camp they will exposed to various disciplines and participate in both group and individual activities.
