The time is fast approaching for this year’s popular Transforming Spaces Art Tour which is celebrating its sixth anniversary!! Patrons purchase a $30.00 ticket for the day which allows them to be driven along with other art lovers in the comfort of an air-conditioned bus with its own knowledgeable Tour Guide to visit different Art Spaces located throughout the island. The spaces are specifically ‘transformed’ for the occasion and patrons get the opportunity to meet and interact with the artists, view and purchase their works and enjoy delicious food and drink!

This year the following nine spaces will be participating:

Doongalik Studios Art Gallery, Ladder Gallery, New Providence Art & Antiques, Pink ‘Un, Popop Studios, Post House Gallery, PRO Gallery, StingraeStudio, and The Hub.

Tickets will soon be available for purchase from the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB), Doongalik Studios, Village Road and The Ladder Gallery. Telephone us for more info.

Doongalik Studios extends a warm welcome to the New Acting Director of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, David Bailey, MBE who had this to say about the Tour:

“It is important to note that the Transforming Spaces event is created by a curatorial collective made up of many of the self-run visual art spaces, who come together to ensure that over a weekend Bahamians and visitors are given an intense visual art experience. Forgive my use of formal terminology but I really want to emphasize by using these terms that the works on display have not been arbitrarily put together as a mis-matched survey of Bahamian art, but that there has been a focused discussion and planning process in- volved in order to ensure that the audience will be exposed to the rich quality of the art and the amazingly diverse talent of the artists.

Transforming Spaces serves as a recurring yearly reminder of the necessity to see visual art within the context of place and each space will offer a distinctive perspective on Bahamian art. Every member of the audience will be taken on a visual art experience that at its heart has a narrative which raises questions about the nature of art both within the context of the gallery space as well as within the context of the role and nature of contemporary art in the wider Bahamas.

We are now in the 2nd decade of the 21st century and are witnessing the legacy of the economic crash as well as recent ecological disasters in our neighborhood country of Haiti. It is in times like these that we need to look towards the visual arts for inspiration, encouragement and the ability to progress forward and it is for this that I welcome you to join us on our Transforming Spaces journey.”
