| Bermuda National Gallery Lunchtime Lecture Series ~ July2 & 9 at 1.30pm |
|
|
|
July 2 - René Magritte (1898-1967) was the greatest painter of the Surrealist movement. Today, the paradoxical blend of beauty and menace in his imagery still has the power to unnerve the viewer. This film sets out to analyse why the paintings are so compelling, and how the events in his life influenced his work.
July 9 - Marcel Duchamp born in France (1887-1968) was a painter, sculptor, and author. He was associated with Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism, though he avoided any strict alliances. Duchamp’s early works were Post-Impressionistic in style, though he eventually turned toward the avant-garde. Duchamp’s work is characterised by humour, a wide variety of media, and its incessant probing of the boundaries of art.
Admission: Non-members $5, members free.
Location: Bermuda National Gallery, City Hall, Hamilton

Come and join us every Saturday at
Horseshoe Bay - Southampton
starting MAY 3rd from 11 am - 3 pm.
Come and play Beach Tennis - all you need to do is bring your own tennis racquet ! Please email us if you are coming.

| Glow Worm Cruises - July 19 & 20 |
|
|
Bermuda has its own spectacular fireworks display and it doesn’t require firecrackers!
Bermuda’s fireworm or glow worm produces bioluminescent displays during its mating activities. Through the months of June, July, August and September, between two and three nights after a full moon, after sunset this illuminated mating ritual can be witnessed. In calm inlets, bioluminescent fireworms swarm to the surface of the sea and engage in sensuous dances and as they do, they give off a luminescent glow that lights up the water. Lasting only a few minutes, the dance is repeated the following month. The Glow Worm Cruise leaves from the BUEI Dock in the evening before sunset and heads to a calm area to witness this monthly ritual.
Members $35.00 & Non Members $0.00 – Must be over 14 year of age. Please snacks and drinks. No alcohol allowed on boat. Don’t forget windbreakers, sweatshirts, jackets and your camera.
To purchase tickets please call 297-7314 - Credit cards accepted.
