Art lovers, mark your calendars! The Blockhouse Bay Community Artists Group is bringing a vibrant splash of creativity to town with the B’Bay Art Expo 2025. Taking place on Saturday, May 17, at the Baptist Church, 504 Blockhouse Bay Road, this one-day event will be open to the public from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
For Mutu Cooray, a seasoned teacher and artist, this expo is more than just an event—it’s a milestone. “Art is the stored honey of the human soul,” he says, reflecting on his journey of mentoring budding artists in Blockhouse Bay since 2023.
Expect a feast for the eyes, with over 100 unique artworks on display, crafted by six passionate artists. From bold strokes to delicate details, the exhibition will showcase a mix of styles, themes, and techniques, giving visitors a chance to explore the many faces of contemporary art.
