THIS SATURDAY ? May 12 at 7.30pm

The Sunflower Organization, under the patronage of Sir Orville Turnquest and Sir Durward Knowles, has chosen to celebrate the life, works, character and friendship of Jackson Burnside III ? architect, artist, and culturally passionate Bahamian for this year's Sunflower Day.

This year's Sunflower Day takes place Saturday, 12 May, 2012 and will be an evening of entertainment at the Dundas Theatre combining an exhibition and 2-hour concert of music, song, art, dance, photography, film and literature as well as a special tribute from Sir Sidney Poitier and an exciting Junkanoo rush-out in Jackson?s honour. There will also be a Grief Recovery Institute information table at the concert should you wish to pursue a proven programme of recovery from grief.
