The World of Art in Bermuda

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.
 
After the beaches, the activities, the clothes-buying and the dinners there is always art. If taking home an example of local art is your desire, then you are spoiled for choice. And if it is one of those rare days of poor weather, the arts in Bermuda will put on quite a show. Choose one of the commercial locations to purchase a Bermuda memory or visit one of the museums to appreciate the world of Bermuda art and all of its influences.
