The Bermuda Arts Centre at Dockyard will open new shows this Sunday [Sept 18].

A spokesperson said, “It all starts in Dockyard at 10:00am on September 18. Join the Plein Air painters as they capture Dockyard from 10:00am to 12:00pm. All completed work will be brought back into the Arts Centre at 12:00pm and will be for sale. Meet the artists and enjoy the beautiful art created right on site in Dockyard.

“From 3:30pm to 5:00. the opening of our members’ show ‘Naturally Contained’ will take place, offering a show featuring Bermuda’s flora used to create natural containers by Ronnie Chameau and Donna Pink.

“All creations are for sale, and are as useful as they are beautiful.

“Donna Pink has created vessels made from locally sourced natural materials, including bark from the Royal and other palm varieties and Coconut Palm matting. Wooden beads, a variety of foliage, and other found items were used as embellishments.

“Ronnie Chameau’s containers are all made from calabashes sourced from local trees. They have been beautifully painted and decorated with a variety of materials, including copper tubing as well as natural seed pods, leaves, and grasses.

“The Bermuda Arts Centre will also open the members’ group show ‘Wild Life.’

“A wide variety of work has been entered, including mixed media, ceramics, local floral, and paintings in a variety of media. It has been left to the artist to interpret the subject.

“A variety of pricing enables even those with limited budgets to own a piece of Bermuda art.

“The show is held in conjunction with The Bermuda Plein Air Painters painting in Dockyard and an exhibition by Ronnie Chameau and Donna Pink entitled ‘Naturally Contained’ which is an exhibit featuring containers made of local flora.
