We Are One is the title of an art exhibition which was held at the Barbados Community College from October 22 to November 5 to honour the life and work of the late Bill Grace.
Curated by Allison Thompson and Ewan Atkinson, as part of PUNCH Creative Arena, the exhibition brought particular focus to Grace’s pottery, sculpture and paintings as well as to the many collectors who acquired his works. Included among these are Marilda and Bernard Weatherhead, Alison Chapman Andrews, Maureen and Henry Fraser, Kathy Yearwood, Goldie Spieler, Heidi and Dietmar Berger, Sharon and Oran Scott, Penny Hynam, Debbie Smith and others.
Through his works, Grace, who is remembered as an artist, educator, environmentalist and humanitarian, was said to most eloquently convey his philosophy of social responsibility, love and generosity.
Undoubtedly, Grace touched the lives of his admirers through his creations. (CCH)
