Meredith Andrews, who has received local and international acclaim, said, “I am excited to represent Bermuda in the Atlantic World Art Fair 2022. There are so many amazing artists, galleries and curators from the region, so to be held in such high company is wonderful. The Artsy platform gives us a chance to be seen.”
The self-taught local artist ABWilson said, “As a Bermuda-based photographer I am excited and humbled to be included and to share this space with the distinguished artists in the 2022 Fair. I look forward to connecting with artists and collectors from around the world as I grow and develop my art.”

Charles Zuill, who has honed his craft for several decades, said, “It is gratifying to see the creation of the Atlantic World Art Fair. Each island brings to the fair their own unique artistic viewpoint. I find that immensely fascinating and am sure the diversity will be appreciated by art lovers and collectors alike.”
The spokesperson said, “This year, the event will also feature a program of informative panel discussions aimed at art collectors, artists and art organisations. The sessions will provide insights into how the art world functions and share knowledge of the region’s art landscape. Those interested in joining can register here.”
Founding Director Lisa Howie said, “On behalf of the 12 participating galleries/art projects featured in this upcoming AWAF, we are grateful to the creative talents of our artists. While we may possess the passion and commitment to drive business opportunities, we can only do so with the active contributions by our talented artists. It is very much a collaboration. This collective of entrepreneurs and artists is very much determined to cultivate new relationships with collectors, curators, and our wider communities.”
