The new tours offered by Islandz will launch with a special inaugural day tour this Saturday, February 11 for $20 per person. It’s an auspicious beginning for the expanded company as they will launch on the same day as – and include on the tour – the Antonius Roberts Studio and Gallery at Hillside House on Cumberland Street. It will also cover the recently-opened tribute to Jackson Burnside at The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, “As We Knew Him”, as well as other spaces.
Into The Mix Opens
Into the Mix – exhibition at The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft – will be an excellent example of the return to Materiality for 10 artists that have a relationship to the Caribbean. Bahamian artists featured are Heino Schmid, Blue Curry and Janine Antoni.
