A world of art in tiny Bermuda
Arts, Crafts & Antiques

There has been the most wonderful cultural renaissance in Bermuda in the last twenty years. For a group of islands the geographical size of an American smaller town, the visual Arts in Bermuda have grown by leaps and bounds. In this short historical time, Masterworks Foundation, Bermuda National Gallery, Bermuda Maritime Museum, the Arts Centre at Dockyard, Bermuda Society of Arts, Bermuda Craft Market, Gallery 135 and Kaleidoscope Foundation have all taken root firmly in this island community. Permanent exhibition spaces within corporations such as Ace Ltd and Colonial Insurance have established themselves, as well as coffee shops showcasing the various local talents as the number of working artists has increased considerably.

Art House Gallery - Joan Forbes
Having mastered several artistic mediums, Joan Forbes, is an island treasure found. A native to Bermuda, her artistic renderings of the landscape, the homes and the flora and fauna are truly brilliant color works. Joan studied graphic design and fine art at Concordia University School of Art in Montreal, Canada, where she received many awards for outstanding work. Her ability as a precise draughtsman brought her success in the advertising world for many years. She opened her own studio, The Art House, in the mid seventies and it is here that she displays her original art along with a large selection of hand signed lithographs and unique crafts. Regularly commissioned, Joan's art is enjoyed by many world wide.
