IWD 2022

Celebrating Female Artists

Last night we hosted an intimate artist led tour of the Bermuda National Gallery featuring two of Bermuda’s leading female artists, Meredith Andrews and Christina Hutchings, to celebrate International Women’s Day 2022.

Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed the evening, including:

Christina Hutchings for providing personal insights into both her work and that of her mother Nancy Valentine featured in Testing Boundaries: In the Studio with Nancy Valentine and Christina Hutchings.

Cassine for the wonderful goodie bags and their support of the proposed single use plastic ban highlighted Flotsam & Jetsam: The Cost of Modern Living by Meredith Andrews.

Bacardi for providing the bar which featured 3 delicious cocktails made with Grey Goose Essences, including Golden Girl produced especially for International Women’s Day 2022, all garnished with locally foraged loquats, nasturtiums and rosemary by Mixzy Bermuda.

And finally, but by no means least, thank you to Dana Selassi for the wonderful photographs.

We were proud to have an all female team on the night, led by BNG Director of Programming and Engagement Eve Godet Thomas alongside BNG Office Administrator and Chair of the Bermuda Arts Council Jennifer Phillips and BNG volunteer Gail Geiger running the front desk.

In support of International Women’s Day, part proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to the Women’s Resource Centre, for which we raised $300.
