Bermuda’s best asset will be celebrated at the 4th Annual Bermuda Beach Art Festival on Saturday, March 28. Artists of all skill levels are invited to take part in this Island-wide eco art competition that celebrates Bermuda’s beautiful beaches. Amazing art is drawn right on the sand, incorporating the rocks, caves or shape of the beach and exists until the next high tide washes them away. Don’t know anything about beach art? Don’t worry, as each year an international beach artist hosts free tricks and techniques workshops in advance of the competition. This year’s honoured guest is Tony Plant, a beach artist from Cornwall, England, who will host four workshops on Horseshoe Bay from 3pm until 5pm on Saturday, March 21, and then from Tuesday, March 24, until Thursday, March 26, from 5.30pm until 6.30pm daily. To enter, reserve your spot by March 21st by contacting entries@bermudabeachartfestival.com with your team name, category (Adult/Family/Teen/Tourist) and choice of beach. Your choice will be confirmed by return e-mail. You can then create your art on any beach from the west end to east end between 9am to noon and send your picture in by 2pm. The main event is on Horseshoe Bay, where there will also be yoga on the beach. There will also be free yoga also on Elbow Beach from 11am until noon. There is no cost to participants or spectators.
