BERMUDA PLEIN AIR EXHIBIT

OCTOBER 15

You can find the Bermuda Plein Air painters capturing various scenes in Dockyard between 12noon – 3:00.

Meet and chat with the artists and then come to our Opening which holds one year of our journeys and stories around the Island.

Our Opening is from 3:30 – 5:30pm.

On September 10 2023, The Bermuda Arts Centre held the ‘NAUTICAL’ Show.  We partnered with the Bermuda Sloop Foundation and have given part proceeds of our sales to support them, because they are wonderful neighbours and we feel what they do for children is awesome as well as our belief that sailing is a form of Art.  
We offered an award and prize of $1,000 to the ‘Best in Show’ at our opening, held on the Bermuda Sloop. Lee Petty won the award and imagine our surprise when the award was accepted by her daughter Rachael Petty, (Lee was off Island) who informed us that Lee would not be accepting the money, but instead donating it back to our new ‘Senior Art Therapy’ Programme.

The Bermuda Arts Centre will be starting a new ‘Senior Art Therapy’ Programme in January 2024. The programme is designed for seniors that are willing to get out of the house but may not be able to do so with certain disabilities or transportation. The programme will offer various artistic classes from painting to ceramics, with transportation to and from the various locations. It will start once a month but the Bermuda Arts Centre is hoping to gain interest and be able to offer more classes, more often with more senior activities.

I have attached a photo of Lee’s ‘Best in Show’ painting.  Our judges comments: “Your painting has it all – several modes of boating, a sense for Bermudian custom and community, a composition that moves the eye across and painting, and a palette that captures a certain time of day with great beauty. First Prize” Please visit her website: leekitsonpetty.com or email: [email protected]

Still onboard the Spirit of Bermuda. The Spirit is docked at the North Lawn right in Dockyard… Right at the dock where they work on all the ferry boats.

Winner of Best in show will be announced at 4:00pm.

It looks like we’re going to have a beautiful evening on September 8 for a floating Art Show.

If you are looking for beautiful pieces of Art, then ‘Nautical’ opening this Friday, September 8th on board the Spirit of Bermuda is the show for you. We have paintings in all sizes and media that will be for sale. Climb onboard our Floating Gallery for this experience.

This is a fundraising show to raise awareness for Art and Sail. Proceeds from sales of ‘Nautical’ will go towards The Bermuda Arts Centre and The Bermuda Sloop Foundation. Both of course being two worthy Bermuda Charities.

You’ll have to climb onboard the ship for this show. The Spirit is sailing to Albouy’s Point in Hamilton and the show will be set up right on the decks. In addition to wandering around and viewing the show, you will be given the opportunity to talk to the crew members of The Spirit and also a chance to see below deck and into the wonderful world of what it takes to sail this beautiful tall ship.

This is definitely a show NOT TO BE MISSED!

Artists have chosen one piece of Art to be considered for the SUZANNE KNOWLES NAUTICAL AWARD. The prize to the winner is $1,000 and we commend every artist that has entered. The work is stunning!

The winner will be announced at 6:30pm at the Opening. The prize will be presented by Sue’s two sons. Bill and Ted and we are honoured that they are flying from Boston to be a part of this special event.

The Bermuda Plein Air Group will be in attendance to capture the magic of the evening from around Albouy’s Point, and you may be enticed to purchase a fresh piece of art right off the easel!

SO! All onboard on Friday, September 8, 2023.
