The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) and the Nassau Airport Development (NAD) have partnered to beautify the airport. The inaugural exhibition occurred in 2012, with February 2012 marking its second rotation. There will be upcoming opportunities for young artists to participate in the NAD Exhibition 3 rotation in September, 2012. Interested 3D artists can contact aknowles@nagb.org.bs with proposals.

The National Art Gallery hosted its first Easter Egg Hunt. Guests were able to make unique Easter Egg Baskets, decorate them, hunt for Easter Eggs filled with candy and walk away with goodie bags.

Jeffrey Meris "The Middle Passage" Three thousand seven hundred miles of onerous oceans heralded the production of cotton in The New World some 300 years ago. The “Middle Passage” is a reincarnation of the epic unprecedented seventh century journey; a cargo of seven million humans trafficked to become cotton picking Negroes. Dialogue is conjured between themes of modern and historical means of migration, Afro-Caribbean slavery and ultimately on the paradox that cotton can be both comforting and laborious in the same tongue. As forgiving as it seems, cotton accumulates sixteen percent of the world’s pesticides. This installation aims to interact both physically and visually with the audience, ultimately creating ‘confabulation’.

In keeping with the theme of the Kendal Hanna Retrospective Exhibition "Happy Birthday to Me," the NAGB hosted an art workshop entitled "In The Likeness" to demonstrate the process, materials and techniques utilized by The Bahamas’ most prolific abstract expressionist.
