Popopstudios Residency Programme

Popopstudios International Center for The Visual Arts has one of the most established Residency programmes in the Caribbean.

The Artist in Residence programme exists as an extension of the Popopstudios’ mission to promote, expose and engage new and challenging developments in contemporary art. With this in mind, international artists are invited to spend one to three months living and working on the studio/gallery grounds.

During their time at Popopstudios artists are asked to give a public presentation of their working practice as well as coordinate a one-day workshop targeted at school children or young adults. Artists staying for longer periods are also invited to use the Gallery to put on a small exhibition of the work they’ve produced while in The Bahamas.

Comfortable accommodations and expansive facilities allow visual artists from all disciplines to realize their creative ambitions.

Situated in a peaceful garden setting, Popopstudios provides an atmosphere conducive to artistic expression, yet is only a short distance from downtown Nassau, a bustling international commercial center with a wide variety of resources.

Popopstudios is within walking distance of Arawak Cay, a local hangout and cultural tourist attraction which features traditional Bahamian food and a staple of Bahamian culture known as the Fish Fry. The Ardastra Garden and the Botanical Gardens are both just a few blocks from the studios.

Just down the street from Arawak Cay are the silky white sands of Junkanoo Beach and the crystal clear waters that have made The Bahamas one of the most desirable vacation destinations in the world.

Popopstudios has state-of-the-art kitchen facilities, a full laundry room and a broad assortment of tools and art supplies on premises.
