Moving Forward In 2011: The Decade of Creativity

Doongalik Studios Art Gallery opened at Marina Village in 2005. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our many faithful patrons who have encouraged us by showing appreciation for, and purchasing Bahamian Art over these five years. We look forward to your continued support as we move ahead into the new year and enter the “Decade of Creativity” as outlined in our Vision Statement.

We also send special thanks and appreciation to our 70+ local artists who have entrusted us with the consignment of their superb artwork, thereby helping us to take Bahamian art to the world—we could not have done it without you!

Bahamian Art is poised to make a significant impact on the global scene and we are proud to have been one of the vehicles to make this happen! We look forward to presenting you with the events that will be leading the way this year, so stay tuned for more exciting Bahamian Art Experiences!!

Happy Holidays!

Enjoy!

Artists of the Bahamas Opens Today!

Artists of the Bahamas is a documentary film that explores the lives and works of key visual artists whose talents contributed to the initial art movement in the Bahamas. Interviews, still photos and archive footage are inter-cut with images of the artists’ works and we learn about the creative process that goes into their paintings, woodcuts, sculptures and installations.

The artists talk about the techniques they use to execute their ideas, from traditional brushes and charcoal, to palette knives, found objects, chainsaws and electronic media. The documentary concludes with the vibrant energy of Junkanoo, a great African festival that rivals both ‘Mardi Gras’ and ‘Carnaval’ in importance

Another Busy Week at Doongalik Studios!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Roddie Pinder's Annual Woodturning Show! We look forward to sharing more of his work with art enthusiasts in the future!

This week, Doongalik turns it's attention to Max Taylor and Artists of the Bahamas! On Wednesday, November 17th at 6pm, Doongalik Studios Marina Village is pleased to host the opening of Max Taylor's "Jazzblutings," a series of acrylics on paper.

According to the artist, these works "reflect not only [his] love for jazz & blues music, but they are also a record showing snippets of Bahamian people and their way of life. [Taylor challenged himself] to use [his] creativity in a different way by letting the colors of the paint & [the] paintbrush guide [his] hand based purely on [his] feelings for these themes."



This Saturday, November 20th, 2010 from 10am - 4pm also marks the official opening of the Nassau city-wide exhibition of "Artists of the Bahamas." Six art galleries throughout Nassau will showcase the works of John Beadle, Jackson Burnside, Stan Burnside, John Cox, Amos Ferguson, Kendal Hanna, Brent Malone, Eddie Minnis, Antonius Roberts, Dave Smith, and Max Taylor. This eleven artists were featured in the film "Artists of the Bahamas" produced and directed by Karen Arthur & Thomas Neuwirth that chronicles the history of Bahamian art.
