Royal Caribbean is expanding its Artist Discovery Programme into the Bahamas, offering Bahamian visual and performing artists an opportunity to bring the region’s vibrant culture to life through curated collections and performances.

This next edition of the programme will provide guests visiting the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island with more ways to experience the beauty of The Bahamas and enjoy the ultimate beach day.

Royal Caribbean Bahamas President Philip Simon stated: “The Artist Discovery Programme will ensure we authentically reflect The Bahamas’ enduring creativity and essence at our Royal Beach Club. We are excited to give our guests a deeper and immersive taste of The Bahamas by embedding local art at the center of the ultimate vacation experience.”

A Dynamic Venue for Self-Expression

Opportunities for artists include large-scale murals, dynamic dance performances, live music, and expressive sculptures, each reflecting the vibrancy of The Bahamas. Artists will be prominently featured throughout the beach club, inviting guests to explore and celebrate Bahamian culture.

Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will be designed to offer an immersive experience of Bahamian art through designated art districts, highlighting natural wonders, festivities, and serene beauty.

Both individuals and teams of artists residing in The Bahamas are welcomed to apply with mural, sculpture, musical, or performance submissions by March 28. Applicants must send five work samples, a CV, and an artist statement for consideration. The first round of selections will be announced in April, with final selections revealed in May, to be installed by July 2025 with a grand unveiling set for December 2025.
