PROMOTING THE VISION: ”By the Year 2020 more visitors will be attracted to The Bahamas by Bahamian
Art, Culture and Heritage than by Sun, Sea and Sand.”

The ‘Save the Turtle’ Art Show Opening was a huge suc-
cess! A capacity crowd of interested art lovers were
blown away by the variety of artwork on display and
thoroughly enjoyed the evening viewing the art, meeting
several of the artists (shown below) and enjoying the
wine, iced tea and cookies in the festive atmosphere of
Marina Village! More photos on Page 2!
