“When you see that it is the Government that is involved in it, it gives us an idea of their interest in what’s happening in the country and in the culture,” he said. “When the Government is involved, it shows their interest in the people,” Mr. Kleinbussink added. “As we expose more works for the people and if the Government is still involved in it, that says something about the Government.”
Manager of the National Junkanoo Museum of The Bahamas and Government liaison for the initiative Ms. Angelique McKay said that such partnerships mean “great things for the cultural community.”
"It allows the culture of The Bahamas to continue to grow,” she said.
The Anthaya Art Gallery is also seeking young Bahamian artists, particularly those in high school, who wish to showcase their work, Mr. Kleinbussink said.
“We find this to be very important, as well, for the culture and the development of the young artists that they can be more involved in the art scene; so that we could give them a chance to grow up and be well-rounded artists,” he said.
Mr. Kleinbussink said that he hopes that those who come to the Anthaya Gallery would get a true taste of various aspects of Bahamian culture.
“What I am hoping is that we can give people a satisfied feeling when they visit here; so that they can see some of what The Bahamas has to offer,” he said.
The Anthaya Art Gallery is located on West Bay Street, Cable Beach, in the shopping complex that is the former site of City Market. The Grand Opening will be at 7 p.m.
