The Saba Tourism Bureau is thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural “Saba Art Month 2024,” a month-long celebration of Saba’s rich artistic heritage and vibrant contemporary art scene. Scheduled to take place throughout the month of April, this exciting event aims to showcase the diverse art styles and talents of the island while providing engaging activities for both locals and visitors alike.
The festivities kick off with an opening art exhibition titled “Jazz in the Park,” which promises to be a captivating evening of art, music, and culture. An event walking us through the history of Saba’s art from “then to now” collaborated with Major Osmar R. Simmons Museum, Harry L. Johnson Museum, and the Sea and Learn Foundation, the event will feature displays of Saba’s artistic evolution from past to present. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy live music performances by DJ Zander Zone and renowned artistes Betti V and Saxophonist Connis Vanterpool. Additionally, live workshops led by esteemed Saba artists Mary Theilman and Marie Petit will offer participants the chance to explore their creativity through painting and jewelry making.
Throughout the month of April, Saba Art Month will offer a diverse range of activities and workshops catering to all ages and interests. Highlights include a collaborative mural project with the Community Development and Culture Department, a serene “Sip and Paint” experience nestled in the island’s lush rainforest venue Rendezvous, and engaging art classes for students at the primary school. Visitors and locals alike can also partake in Create & Learn workshops focusing on sustainable art practices, including the renowned Saba Lace, pottery making, and glass bead creations.
