New Initiatives for a New Year

Well, we promised new things for 2006. Philip and I would like to announce, on behalf of all Ringplay, that the first is now up and running.
We’ve long felt the need for an online community set up specifically for Bahamian artists and performers. Enter …conch een ga no bone, a forum we’ve created for just that purpose. Cultures can’t grow without dialogue, and for too long our artists and performers have been ghettoized, with musicians talking only to musicians, Junkanoos to other Junkanoos, theatre people to one another, and writers saying “where you put me?”. This forum, we hope, will provide a place, if only in cyberspace, where we can all meet and talk to one another, and begin to forge the kinds of bonds that allow us to have the influence on our lawmakers that will allow the Bahamian arts the room they need to grow.
Visit …conch een ga no bone at www.artsbahamas.com. Get registered. Get talking. Be heard.
Happy new year.
