Artists who reside in Barbados will be offered the Centre to display their work, which will be seen by persons who pass through the Centre on a daily basis and at the same time, the art is expected to add a welcome artistic element to the décor of the Centre.

Note that while requests for displaying on more than one (1) occasion in the calendar year will be considered, artists who have not displayed, will be given priority in the first calendar rotation; Note that the Centre is dynamic and management reserves the right to request to reschedule any display bookings;
Since the initiative was informally discussed with a few artists at BMEX, four (4) artists have indicated their interest to display at the Centre commencing July 2010 and months requested are July and August 2010 and February 2011, however these are not yet confirmed.
