Our Bahamas Art Channel is curated by Bahamian artists who have contributed to the art community in The Bahamas for decades.
About Bahamian Art
Bahamian artists have evolved over the decades, moving away from traditional folk art to a more personal style. Contemporary Bahamian art is now being recognized and sold around the world. Art from Bahamian photographers is also becoming more popular in galleries and online sales.
The Bahamas has long had a vibrant arts community encompassing artists working in a wide variety of creative fields. The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas features an extensive collection of primarily Bahamian art, including paintings by Amos Ferguson, sculptures by Antonius Roberts and pencil drawings of historic Nassau from the 18th century. Other galleries and Bahamas artist studios are located in Nassau and throughout the other Bahama islands.
For many years, art in The Bahamas consisted primarily of straw crafts and paintings of island life, created primarily for the tourist market. Over the past few decades, a new crop of Bahamian artists has emerged on the scene expressing themselves in new, creative and uniquely Bahamian ways. These young artists are encouraging a new form of individualism and artistic personality.
