The Ansin Family Art Gallery at the Miramar Cultural Center is proud to present Myths: Menace and Mischief, the first solo exhibition by acclaimed writer and multidisciplinary artist Elliot Bastien. The exhibition runs from June 1–12, 2026, in celebration of Caribbean American Heritage Month.
Inspired by Caribbean folklore and the rich blend of African, European, and Indigenous influences that shape the region’s cultural identity, the exhibition features two large-scale works and 35 small- and medium-sized paintings. Through vibrant colors, bold abstract forms, and layered textures, Bastien reimagines myths, legends, and traditions that have shaped generations.
A private opening reception hosted by Miramar Vice Mayor Carson “Eddy” Edwards featured an artist talk by Bastien and lively emceeing by comedian Cindy-Anne Boisson, creating an evening of art, culture, and storytelling.
The exhibition also complements Caribbean American Heritage: A History of High Achievers, a publication by Bastien and his wife, Sandra Bernard-Bastien, celebrating the achievements and contributions of Caribbean Americans.
