La Vie En Rose, 2007
Director: Oliver Dahan
Runtime: 141 minutes
Language: French with English Subtitles
Country: France

A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing, writer-director Olivier Dahan's La Vie en Rose stars Marion Cotillard in a blazing performance as the legendary French icon Edith Piaf. From the mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York's most famous concert halls, Piaf's life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Raised in her grandmother's brothel, Piaf was discovered in 1935 by nightclub owner Louis Leplee (Gerard Depardieu), who persuaded her to sing despite her extreme nervousness. Piaf became one of France's immortal icons, her voice one of the indelible signatures of the 20th Century.

Artist Facilitator: Jolyon Smith

Paint Out
The National Art Gallery in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism will facilitate a massive paint workshop on the grounds of the Gallery and you are invited to participate.

Artists, art teachers, mentors and mentees, families, art classes, and civic organizations are invited to come to the gallery on Saturday, April 7, 18 and 25, to complete designs that will then be painted on barrels that will be used as planters in the beautification of Downtown Nassau.

Each Civic Organization, School Group, Artist, or teacher will receive an honorarium of $30 for each planter completed. Design intentions must be discussed and approved by the Gallery’s Artist Facilitator, Jolyon Smith, prior to execution.

Paper, pencils and all painting materials will be supplied.

Simple vibrant designs depicting aspects of Bahamian history, culture, folklore, flora, fauna, people and landscape are preferred.

Please contact the gallery for further information and to sign up.

Artists and Civic organizations are encouraged to paint barrels and donate the honorarium earned to a charity organization or cause they support. Participating Art classes may consider use the funds to purchase art supplies.

Come and be a part of these exciting days of creativity and community spirit.

This event is free and open to the public.
