It is not just because February is the month of LOVE, the members of the Grand Bahama Artists Association have been exhibiting their love of art to the community at large since 1997.<\/p>\n

It is often said that being an artist is a lonely profession but not so with the GBAA.\u00a0 Making their presence felt on the island with member\u2019s art exhibitions and community and business art presentations, the GBAA\u2019s vision has always been about the love of art.<\/p>\n

These lovers of art have been creating, exhibiting, educating, selling and delighting their audiences with artworks in oil, watercolor, pastel and acrylic, wood sculpture, woven and sequin tapistries and handmade paper\u00a0 at every possible venue.<\/p>\n

However on Thursday February 9, 2012 the GBAA members will once again host their own annual\u00a0 Valentine Art Exhibition at the Bahamas National Trust\u2019s Glory Banks Gallery in the Rand Nature Centre on East Settler\u2019s Way, Grand Bahama Island.<\/p>\n

Many of the original founding member artists will be exhibiting their work but the excitement is for the many new emerging artists and for artists new to the island to have the opportunity to exhibit their artwork for the first time.<\/p>\n

With the growing awareness of the importance of art culture in our society, residents, visitors, art teacher and parents are urge to come and experience the many forms of art being offered here on Grand Bahama.\u00a0\u00a0 Many of the artists will be in attendance to proudly talk about their work.\u00a0 For budding artists there is the opportunity to meet and maybe even book lessons with one of the art teachers on the island.<\/p>\n

This increased awareness of the importance of art culture is evident in the many invitations extended to the members of the GBAA to be part of many business and community events.\u00a0 This is good news for artists and patrons alike.\u00a0 It is all for the LOVE OF ART.<\/p>\n
