The Transforming Spaces (TS) Committee is pleased to announce the return of their Art Bus Tour throughout New Providence for 2023. Dubbed “TS50” in honour of the country’s 50th Independence Anniversary, the event is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, November 11th and 12th.

Due to the unforeseen presence of COVID-19 in 2020, TS reverted to a virtual format, which was well received under the circumstances, but patrons expressed their preference for the unique experience of the Bus Tour. TS is happy to be able to satisfy these wishes as they plan another exciting weekend of immersion into Bahamian art and culture!

There will be six buses each day visiting a total of eight galleries located in both the eastern and western parts of the island: Contemporary Art Bahamas (CAB), Doongalik Studios, ECCHO at Baha Mar, Gallery & Wine Bar at Nassau Cruise Port (GWB), Hillside House, ICE Gallery, Sixty 2 Sixty, and TERN Gallery. A new feature will be a lunch stop at the Central Bank of The Bahamas, which will also be the official bus depot, midway through the tour to ‘refuel’ before boarding for another adventure!

Tickets will be available for sale at the beginning of October at $50, and will include access to any pre and post events as well as the closing party. Box offices will be located at Doongalik Studios, The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB), The Place for Art, The Current: Baha Mar Gallery & Art Center, and TERN Gallery.

More information on the various galleries and their exhibition themes will be forthcoming. The public can also visit the TS website at www.tsbahamas.com and follow the Facebook and Instagram social media pages @TSBahamas.
