The ticketed event features live music performed by In Love & Unplugged and art-inspired cocktails by Bacardi. Tickets can be purchased on the BNG website.

“We’ve had a fantastic Art Month so far, with dynamic exhibitions and activations that engaged both locals and visitors,” said Tashae Thompson, vice president of experiences at BTA. “As the month comes to a close, we invite everyone to take advantage of the last remaining conferences and events and visit the many exhibitions that will remain open in the weeks to come. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience Bermuda’s creative culture.

Jennifer Phillips, Executive Director of the Bermuda National Gallery, said: “As Art Month draws to a close, we remember the profound value that art brings to our community of residents and visitors. Art has the unique ability to inspire, provoke thought and connect us all, and this year’s events have made it more accessible than ever.

Phillips continued: “The closing celebration, taking place against the backdrop of the Bermuda Biennale, represents another incredible opportunity to engage with the beauty and diversity of artistic expression. Thanks to the support of Bacardi, the Bermuda Tourism Authority and our talented artists, we have seen more visitors attracted not only to the Bermuda National Gallery, but also to our fellow galleries and cultural spaces across the island. This collective effort showcases the strength of Bermuda’s vibrant arts community.

The spokesperson said: “Art Month has been promoted in key cities across the northeastern United States through special travel packages, encouraging visitors to explore Bermuda’s cultural offerings in beyond the summer season. For those who still want to visit, discounts of 20-35% are available at four participating hotels.
