Also, there will be no posts on Tuesday, 27th December and Thursday, 29th December with our first post of the new year appearing on Thursday, 5th January 2012. We hope that our wonderful visitors and guests will continue to support Mixed Media, the gallery and Bahamian art!

Christmas Hours: The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas will be open on Friday, 23rd and Saturday, 24th December. The gallery is closed on Monday, 26th December but open for the rest of the week with normal operating hours! We are also closed on the 2nd January and resume normally on the 3rd January 2012.

Last week Friday, the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas hosted a successful showing of the new film, Amos Ferguson: Match Me If You Can. After the film was a small Q&A session with Amos’ niece, Lorraine Bastian and Director, Karen Arthur. Despite troublesome weather and technical difficulties, the NAGB hosted a successful event with an amazing turnout of over 60 people flocking to see the film! Here are some photos of the event.

Villa Doyle

The Villa Doyle.
One day the Curatorial Team was digging through an old filing cabinet of loose papers, folders, fliers and binders. After digging through the heap for some time, nestled sweetly at the bottom of the pile was this vintage photo of the Villa Doyle (the original name of the building that the NAGB currently resides in) sometime in the 20th century.

This is not a photo of the original Villa Doyle, though the first half of the building encompasses the original structure of the building. The building in the photo, this large and beautiful structure, was taken after the building had been expanded upon by the owners, making it what it is today.

We hope you enjoyed this informative little tid-bit on the history of the NAGB!
