The Salus Project announces the opening of The Bahamian Collection exhibition on Thursday, December 4th, 2014 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.

The collection of classic, dramatic black-and-white legacy portraits that will be exhibited are part of the Bahamian Project’s first year body of work created by photographer, and Bahamian Project founder, Duke Wells.

The Bahamian Project was created to capture the spirit of the people of The Bahamas. The body of photographs produced in the first year – “The Bahamian Collection” – comprises about 60 classic black-&-white portraits of Bahamians and made a spectacular debut at the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas as part of the Bahamas’ 40th Independence anniversary celebrations. Approximately 24 of those legacy portraits will be exhibited at The Salus Project Gallery from December 4th and into the new year.

Family Medicine Center hosted its first exhibition in the new Salus Gallery with the opening reception of Lifestyle Wellness on Thursday October 3rd. The exhibition was curated by Yutavia George and June Collie and features the artwork of numerous young artists.

The Salus Project has artistically confronted the issues of HIV and AIDS, domestic violence, heart disease, diabetes and protecting the earth. “In Observation” will investigate financial and social wellness using work ethic and reflection as a platform for a social discussion.

The show questions “break time” and considers the actions of personnel at work, with focus on various resting periods. “In Observation” identifies various professions, hierarchies, and resources, as well as the public’s response to certain job descriptions. More importantly, the exhibition highlights the personal aura concerning the restroom space, which is different from other spaces at work.

The show is curated by artists Yutavia George and June Collie and features their work as well as that of artists Preston Hanna, Edrin Symonette, Demie Ubani and Allan Wallace.
