PTAP announces the artists participating in Nurturing Brotherhood.
Today we announce the names of the seventeen Bahamian male artists who have mentored high
school students over the past few weeks in preparation for its five month exhibition, Nurturing
Brotherhood. PTAP invites the general public to the opening reception on May 18th where each
artist will showcase their work alongside their student.
“We are pleased to begin a program that focuses on bridging generational gaps which engenders
an appreciation for relationship building, collaboration, and creative independence beyond the
traditional artistic culture”, says exhibition coordinator, Keisha Oliver.
This year’s mentors include several painters and sculptors, a photographer, a fashion designer, and
a ceramicist; twelve of which are based in Nassau, three in Grand Bahama, one in Abaco, and one
in Atlanta, Georgia.
Artist Kishan Munroe feels, “The initiative is a much needed catalyst for the reclamation of the
endangered male soul, simultaneously fostering a legacy of artistic excellence, fraternity and
creative vision.”

PTAP is Nurturing Brotherhood!
-09.jpg)
Last fall we celebrated the launch of our new art initiative which transformed the foyers of the Public Treasury building into gallery spaces that showcase original art by both professional and emerging artists.
After our well received five-month inaugural exhibition ‘Bahama Mama’, an amalgamation of visual and literary works from twenty-five talented Bahamian female artists and writers, we will be returning this May with an exciting new exhibition, ‘Nurturing Brotherhood’. PTAP aims to build upon its reputation for empowering aspiring artists by allowing art students to take center stage of the creative arts industry.
‘Nurturing Brotherhood’ will not only exhibit work from some of the most talented men in The Bahamas, but also mark the beginning of a promising mentorship program. In an effort to unify the young male Bahamian community through the arts, PTAP has paired both professional artists and designers with high school students to produce a body of work that they will exhibit alongside each other.
PTAP invites the general public to attend the opening of the exhibition on Friday, May 18th 2012 to support these young men and their journey that serves as creative building blocks for the future of our nation’s young men.
