Lowe Art Gallery

The highlight of this visit to Green Turtle Cay was the Alton R Lowe Art Gallery. The art gallery is in a house he had built above Black Sound. It is a wonderful home with beautifully landscaped grounds. Alton is an extremely accomplished artist and his works are well out of our range. What made this visit so memorable was spending close to an hour talking with him. Alton grew up on Green Turtle Cay and began his art studies at the age of six. He eventually studied art in New York. He is well engaged and connected to the political and cultural life of the Bahamas. His home is built on a hillside and behind and to the side of the house is an outdoor stage. They bring in plays and concerts from Miami and can seat 700 on the lawns around the stage.
