A must-see for the buyer of contemporary art is The Windjammer Gallery, located on the corner of King and Reid streets. Although similar to a good American gallery, it carries works representative of the Bermudian vernacular, including sculpture. The Regal Art Gallery, on Reid Street East, is a showplace of innovative art. The theme there is largely contemporary Afro-Bermudian oil paintings, but local and international artists also offer a spirited and colorful selection of sculptures, masks and ceramics. From Hamilton, one can head west to Somerset or east to St. George's.
Exhibitions change every six weeks, and fine work by local artists is available for purchase.
Three working artists have studios in the Arts Centre, which is open seven days a week. The Dockyard is also home to The Michael Swan Gallery, where the artist's airbrush paintings are on display. Also west of Hamilton is The Art House Gallery, located in Paget Parish. Bermudian artist Joan Forbes exhibits her watercolors, oils and lithographs there. The Desmond Fountain Exhibition in the Southampton Princess Hotel is another example of the diverse artistic talent on the islands.
