Where the
artists gather
The Abacos, Bahamas
Remote and off the grid, the Johnston Art Foundry hides at the end of an unpaved road. An artist's escape, more easily reached by boat, complete with a castaway beachside bar.
Some 70 years ago, Randolph W. Johnston settled in Little Abaco with his young family. A professor and anartist, he saw in the remote picturesque cove a future—
An artists’ colony and a home for his family.
Enter the foundry
Tucked between the palm trees and azure waters is a thrilling surprise—the only working bronze foundry in The Bahamas. Here, three generations of the Johnston family, accompanied by artists from around the world, have cast one-of-a-kind bronze creations.
“I am always amazedwhen we are actually melting metal at 2000°,and pouring it, and shaping it into what we want.”— Richard AppaldoResident Artist & Bronze Master
