TRANSFORMING SPACES 2014

TRANSFORMING SPACES 2014Thursday, 3rd April through Sunday, 6th April

OFFICIAL ARTISTS CALL

Transforming Spaces is an annual art tourthat takes place in Nassau, The Bahamastwo weeks prior to Easter. The event has be-come widely acclaimed as one of the moresignificant cultural events in the archipelago.

Patrons are carried via bus to several galler-ies throughout the island of New Providenceaccompanied by a knowledgeable tour guidewho explains the history of each space andpreviews what the audience will view there.Each gallery (or transformed space) dis-plays a different exhibition and collection ofartists every year and is represented by anauthoritative docent who elucidates the showin greater detail to the visiting groups.

For the first time in 2012 the large, multi-faceted exhibition adopted a themed ap-proach which acted as the all-encompassinglink between the sites which was extremelysuccessful. It was decided to repeat thisprocess for 2014 using the theme WATER.

The theme is intended to identify, provokeand project thoughts on the topic of waterand its place in our individual and/or collec-tive experiences. Artists are encouraged toinvestigate, exploit and reveal the possibili-

ties of water and all that its properties have tooffer. WATER can be used literally, figura-tively or symbolically to guide individual nar-ratives. In this context WATER can be-come, for example, a subject, a metaphor, amaterial and more..it should manifest itselfas the focal point in the creation of a singlework/project designed for this event.

To celebrate its 10th

Anniversary, Transform-ing Spaces 2014 will expand to become a four-day affair consisting of an evening VIP GalaOpening, a Talk Series, Film and Video night,

as well as other events to complement thethemed exhibitions that will include all formsof media showcasing the art explosion thathas taken place in The Bahamas in recentyears.

Life Coach Kaylus Adams has announced plans

for a unique Retreat for women entitled, Reno-

vate Your Life that is designed to ignite,

enlighten, support and inspire women to redefine,

reorganize, refresh and redecorate their lives. Just

as the renovation of a physical space requires spe-

cific planning and development phases in order to

reach completion, this engaging Retreat will fol-

low similar guidelines in a holistically personalway.

Targeted towards those women who might find

themselves looking to enjoy life more, or feeling

that they have outgrown where they are, or are

tired of the same ol same ol but are not quite

sure how to make a change, Ms Adams stated:

Significant changes to live our best, ideal life

can happen as a result of getting clarity about

what we want, making quality decisions to up-

hold what we want, and taking intentional stepstoward what we want in order to accomplish

goals.

The Retreat will take place at Doongalik Studios

on Village Road over the course of 8 hours of

coaching within the span of 60 days, in three

phases of one Saturday session per month during

September, October and November. Women will

be guided through three moderately paced, group

coaching sessions entitled Redesign, Renovate

and Reveal during which Ms Adams will lead

them through fun, engaging self-discovery exer-

cises and provide them with self-assessments to

notice changes in thinking, desires and direction.

Her audiences, participants and clients can expect

her to share proven life principles, draw witty il-

lustrations and reference enlightening anecdotes.

Kaylus Adams is the creative mastermind of this

event which is a merger of her hospitality back-

ground with over ten years of experience as a life

and business realignment coach, workshop and

retreat facilitator. As a successful example of her

own renovated life, Ms Adams is able to empa-thize with women because she understands that

change, transition and transformation can be pains-

taking, uncomfortable, and lonely. She knows

what it is like to make challenging, unscripted out

of the box decisions to embrace more joy, peace

and fulfillment and passion ones life.
