Grandeur
Is the magnificence of life
often found within the tiny fleeting moments?
In the places where we choose
to be enthralled by the earth,
and present for each other?
How do we navigate the
big dramatic moments and
milestones while listening to
the small still voice within?
These questions arise as part of an art conversation sparked between friends, collaborators in art, and longtime community members uplifting the island of Grand Bahama. With works by artists Chantal Bethel, Claudette Dean, Paula Boyd Farrington, and Laurie Tuchel, the exhibit showcases interpretations of questions more relevant than ever as the world grapples with shifts in energy and spiritual consciousness. In times which call for urgent planetary care alongside empathy and compassion as valued components in forging viable new paths for our collective humanity, these four Grand Bahama artists look to each other, as well as to their beloved island (which has withstood so much) in shining a light of inspiration, solidarity, and personal creative expression.

About Us
The D’Aguilar Art Foundation, launched in 2008, is the culmination of Vincent D’Aguilar’s vision for Bahamian art. One of the most comprehensive privately held art collections in The Bahamas, the Foundation is an educational resource for artists, scholars, collectors, students and the general public. Operating out of a multi-functional exhibition, educational and archival space, we strive to involve members of the public in the ideas and discourse of Bahamian artists.
