Prime Minister's Christmas message 2009

Prime Minister Hubert A. IngrahamMessage from
Rt. Hon. Hubert A. Ingraham
Prime Minister
Christmas 2009
 

Throughout the Christian world Christmas is the happiest of religious celebrations.  Here in The Bahamas it is eagerly anticipated as a time for family gathering, religious services and Junkanoo.  I wish to extend best wishes to Bahamians everywhere and to all those visiting with us at this time of year a very Merry Christmas.  

This year, as is our custom, Christmas ushers in a season of generosity of spirit and of sharing.  This is all the more welcomed this year as so many of our people continue to struggle against the fallout of the global economic recession.    

At Christmas time last year we were all already aware of the challenges and the uncertainty facing our country in the wake of the global economic and financial crisis that had descended upon us and the world.  As we prepare to celebrate another holiday season, the challenges and the uncertainty remain.   

Although we are told that the worst recession in living memory may have bottomed out and that recovery may have begun, our tourist trade and other economic sectors will take a while yet to recover.  

Thousands of Bahamian families have had to face the stark reality of unemployment and underemployment as the global economy and hence the Bahamian economy shrank.  I know that for many people 2009 has been very difficult. 

We continue to manage our economy prudently and sensibly so as to ensure that we are well placed to benefit from the global recovery as it occurs.  We are cautiously optimistic that 2010 will be better for more people than was 2009.

National Art Gallery of The Bahamas announces leave of absence of current director and names replacement

Dr. Erica James NASSAU, Bahamas -- The founding director of the National Art Gallery Dr. Erica James will take a year long sabbatical to serve as a Post Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri beginning January 2010.

Dr. James returned to The Bahamas in 2003 after being retained as Visiting Resident Curator by the Committee to Establish the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas. She was tasked with overseeing the final stages of the restoration and renovation of Villa Doyle, the official opening of the Gallery, the curation of the Inaugural National Exhibition (INE) and the coordination of the installation of the three major exhibitions that open the gallery in July 2003.

Dr. James was appointed Chief Curator in 2003 and Director of the Gallery in 2005. During her time at the NAGB, she has drafted policies to govern the operation of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas both curatorially and institutionally, curated more than ten exhibitions including three National Exhibitions, the popular "What is Africa to Me?", "The Awakening Landscape" and the current "Max Taylor: Paperwork."

Under her direction, the Gallery has also developed a vibrant public programme offering that includes, lectures, concerts, artist talks, children and family workshops, films, teacher workshops, etc. Perhaps most important to her has been the development of the Gallery’s Art Library intended to assist, students, teachers and artists with resources on Bahamian, regional and international artists and art movements.

A graduate of the College of The Bahamas and a proud recipient of the Sir Gerald Cash award for the highest GPA in her graduating year at COB, Dr. James received her BA (honours) from Vassar College, the Master of Fine Arts from the University of Chicago and an earned her PhD in Art History from Duke University. She is the recipient of numerous awards including research fellowships from the International Association of University Women and the Ford Foundation, The John Hope Franklin Fellowship and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Research Fellowship at the Clark Institute in Williamstown, MA.
