Eight (8) more Bermudian artists now have their works featured in Government buildings as part of the “Public Art Project in Government Buildings”.

The latest featured artists include Kyle James, Rachel Little, Dejon Simmons, Ivan Outerbridge, Guilden M. Gilbert, Gherdai Hassell, Lulu Hedstrom and Zoë Dyson (see artist bios below).

The Minister of Labour, Community Affairs and Sports the Hon.

We see this as an important way for our creative artists to visually share their unique and stunning pieces with our community. Bermuda is overflowing with talent, and this Government is committed to ensuring that our local artists are provided with public platforms to showcase their works.”

The first phase of the project featured artwork by Bermudian artists Meredith Andrews, Graham Foster, Sharon Wilson, Alan Smith, Edwin M.E. Smith, Ph.D., Diana Higginbotham, James Cooper and Jayde Gibbons. Their works are showcased in the Dame Lois Brown-Evans building.
