Art and Artist Community – Nassau Bahamas
2012 Popopstudios Junior Residency Prize (PJRP) winners – Steven Schmid, Veronica Dorsett and Yutavia George have just completed a three-month art residency at Popopstudios, where they communed with, and worked alongside, professional artists.
During Coffee Hour at Hillside House last week the young artists shared their experiences this summer. See the photos and catch fragments of the animated conversation…
Not many emerging artists at The College of The Bahamas get a chance to spend their summers just focusing on developing their work in a dynamic community of practicing contemporary artists, but this past summer at Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts four student artists flourished.
The project has kicked into a high gear and is making quick progress… thanks to the help of some of our hardworking Popop friends.
Popop’s current resident artist, Chawne Paige, is leading a collaborative mural project on Popop’s grounds. The mural, located in the rear area of the main building, will be a permanent part of the campus.
