“The Bermuda National Gallery will host a unique closing event for the 2024 Bermuda Biennial, offering an intimate experience with the exhibit’s featured artists.

The ticketed event includes live music performed by In Love & Unplugged and art-inspired cocktails by Bacardi. Tickets can be purchased through BNG’s website.”
“We’ve had a fantastic Art Month so far, with dynamic exhibitions and activations that have engaged both locals and visitors,” said Tashae Thompson, VP of Experiences at BTA. “As the month wraps up, we’re urging everyone to take advantage of the last remaining talks and events, and to visit the many exhibits that will remain open into the coming weeks. This is a wonderful chance to experience Bermuda’s creative culture.”
Jennifer Phillips, Executive Director of the Bermuda National Gallery, said, “As Art Month wraps, we are reminded of the profound value that art brings to our community of both residents and visitors. Art has the unique ability to inspire, provoke thought, and connect us all, and this year’s events have made it more accessible than ever.”
Phillips continued, “The closing celebration, set against the backdrop of the Bermuda Biennial, represents another incredible opportunity to engage with the beauty and diversity of artistic expression. Thanks to the support of Bacardi, the Bermuda Tourism Authority, and our talented artists, we’ve seen more visitors drawn not only to the Bermuda National Gallery but also to our fellow galleries and cultural spaces around the island. This collective effort showcases the strength of Bermuda’s vibrant arts community.”
The spokesperson said, “Art Month has been promoted in key Northeast U.S. cities through special travel packages, encouraging visitors to explore Bermuda’s cultural offerings beyond the summer season. For those still looking to visit, discounts of 20–35% off are available at four participating hotels.
