The Los Angeles Bahamian Creative Showcase

Join us on July 11, 2025, at the Los Angeles Performing Arts Conservatory (LAPAC) for "Rhythms of Our Nation," a celebration of 52 years of Bahamian Independence presented by The Bahamas Consulate General in Los Angeles in collaboration with Alleyne Connects U. This event will showcase Bahamian heritage, art, and entrepreneurship, featuring a variety of local artists, businesses, and culinary innovators.

The logo theme for the Bahamas’ 52nd Independence Anniversary, “Together: We Rise,” is a powerful call to unity and love. It reminds us that our greatest strength lies in our togetherness — that as one people, we can achieve far more than we ever could alone. Let this theme ignite a renewed sense of hope within us all, inspiring us to dream bigger, work harder, and uplift each other.

About the Showcase

The Bahamian Creative Showcase serves as the premier platform connecting Bahamian creative talent in Los Angeles. Building on the success of past cultural initiatives, including the Black History Month celebration "Gifted", presented by the Los Angeles Performing Arts Productions, we spotlight multi-talented artists from Los Angeles.

Our mission extends beyond exhibition; we actively foster cultural exchange and create economic opportunities for Bahamian entrepreneurs, strengthening ties between Los Angeles and the Bahamas.

Highlighted Artists

Experience the vibrant creativity of The Bahamas through visual art and live music performances that celebrate Bahamian and Caribbean traditions. Enjoy the authentic heritage showcased throughout the event, and don't miss the opportunity to taste dishes and hear native music by by special guests.
