TS2016 “SWELL – Community + Collaboration” will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13 and will incorporate several innovations.

The creative vision for TS was to present a brand that was fresh, modern, and adaptable with a design that could create opportunities for engagement with the larger art community along with endless possibilities for marketing and merchandising.

This year’s Art Tour will take place for the first time at the Towne Hotel on George Street which will be open to patrons from 10pm until 10pm on Saturday and from 10pm until 4pm on Sunday with food and drink available for sale.

The Towne Hotel will also host a small VIP cocktail preview reception on Thursday, March 11 from 7-9pm for $100 per person. Towne Hotel owners, Ron and Isabella Overend are honoured to partner with the Committee to host this year’s art event at their venue which already displays pieces of their personal collection of Bahamian Art.

On both Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm a Shuttle Bus service provided by Bahamas Experience Travel and Tours, who have also been a sponsor of the TS events since its inception, will be available to TS2016 patrons to allow them to move between the spaces at their leisure.

New Providence Art & Antiques at Popop will highlight the Genesis Junkanoo production process and rush out in a show curated by Jay Koment.

Parking will be available to TS patrons at The Central Bank parking lot and the George Street parking lot after the shuttle buses stop running at 2pm.
