In the hills of Jacks Hill, where Kingston begins to soften into quiet elevation and green spaces, an intimate artistic experience is preparing to unfold across two weekends in May.

Bridge Mount Open Studio invites the public into the creative world of sculptor Raymond Watson for a rare opportunity to engage directly with the artist, his process and the environment where the work itself is born. Hosted at Bridge Mount in Jacks Hill Village, St. Andrew, the open studio experience runs May 23–24 and May 30–31, from 10:00am to 4:00pm daily.

Presented by Blaqmango and hosted by Dr. Winston Campbell, the event offers something increasingly uncommon within contemporary culture: proximity to the creative process itself. Rather than encountering finished works only within gallery walls, visitors are welcomed into a more personal atmosphere where sculpture, space, texture and artistic reasoning exist together in conversation.

Raymond Watson’s sculptural language carries a striking organic quality. His forms appear suspended between nature and spirit, movement and stillness. The pieces feel unearthed rather than manufactured, as though shaped by memory, erosion and intuition all at once. Within the setting of Bridge Mount, that experience becomes even more immersive.

Open studios continue to play an important role in sustaining Jamaica’s creative ecosystem, particularly at a time when artists are increasingly seeking independent ways to connect audiences with process, practice and cultural thought. Events like these move beyond exhibition. They create dialogue. They humanize the act of creation itself.

For patrons of the arts, collectors, students and curious cultural observers alike, Bridge Mount Open Studio promises an encounter rooted in craftsmanship, reflection and artistic presence.

And perhaps that is the beauty of spaces like these. They remind us that art is not only something we observe after completion. Sometimes the most powerful experience is witnessing the becoming.
