“The 242 Artist Network was formed in 2018 with groups on Whatsapp and Facebook. Other social media platforms developed once we expanded over the years.

PROJECTS

The Nuryz Mixtape, Artjoy Concert Series, Speakfayahself Podcast, and Roots Market; all of
which provide creatives with tangible spaces to earn an income and to present local art to the
community at large. The 242 Artist Network is a movement of creatives dedicated to the
promotion of Bahamian Artists and their global collaborations. We aim to promote Bahamian unity through social media, and working diligently to build the entertainment sector in order to enhance economic growth.

Our ventures include:

● The Speakfayahself Podcast: The ‘Speakfayahself’ Podcast helps to serve the needs of
the local creative community by providing a platform in which listeners can enjoy
interviews and exclusive Bahamian content from our Visual artists and musicians of
various genres.
