The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) is freshening things up with a new permanent exhibition called The Bahamian Domestic. Saying goodbye to 40 Years of Bahamian Art, the former permanent exhibition which paid homage to the country’s four decades of independence, the NAGB team now looks forward to the new collection of works that gives voice to a plethora of experiences of living in The Bahamas.
The exhibition’s theme was chosen by NAGB Director Amanda Coulson, who wanted the chance to showcase the everyday moments of Bahamian living, according to NAGB Assistant Curator and Registrar Averia Wright. Wright is co-curating the show alongside NAGB Collections Management Registrar and Curator Ashley Knowles.
Despite what the name suggests, the NAGB’s permanent exhibitions generally last from six months to one year before being changed.
40 Years of Bahamian Art had been on display at the gallery since July 2013. “With a year-long show, you can tell when attention starts to wane from the public, so it was time. And also we were ready for something new,” said Wright.
