BMA gives additional support and scholarships to students for books, lunch, transportation, and other needs.
Some of our programs include….
A youth mentoring program at Sammy E. Coan Middle School in Atlanta. In 2007, BMA facilitated a three week summer program for several students where they participated in programming, animation, robotics and computing sessions at Kennesaw State University’s College of Science & Mathematics.
In 2006, BMA established a computer laboratory consisting of several new high speed computers and printers at St. Ann’s Bay elementary school in Jamaica. In addition, several needy 4th grade children were awarded scholarships. The scholarships will be continued through 6th grade.

Congratulations to the following organizations/events on another year of success and community involvement:
Caribbean Vibes Radio
Caribbean American Heritage Awards
Caribbean RIDDIMZ
The holidays and gift giving season is fast approaching. Most of us are having a constant fight with our finances, and we may be worried about alllllll the gifts we have to purchase for alllllll the people who are special to us! Sometimes it is the thought that you put into the selection of the inexpensive gift and the words you write in the accompanying card that does it; sometimes you need to use the resources that you have and do things like cook a nice meal and spend a nice evening with a friend just to say "Happy Holidays, I love you"; and yes, sometimes you HAVE to spend some serious dollars - c'est la vie!
Whatever you do this holiday season, remember to give thanks to the Higher Power for all the blessings that we sometimes take for granted, let your special people know that you love them, and save some cash for after the holidays.
The year is almost over and 2008 is right around the corner. I hope that if you are into making resolutions, you start NOW. Make a plan, set realistic goals, and dare to dream... Rosie "Peppy" Parke

Ebony G. Patterson - Hybrids
Saturday, September 8, 2007 - Saturday, October 13, 2007
Opening
Reception:
Saturday, September 8, 6-9 pm International
Friday, 3 August, 7pm
See Line Gallery
1812 Berkeley Street,
Santa Monica, CA 90404
Tel. 310 829 1727
Fax 310 829 3164
www.seelinegallery.com
Based in Santa Monica, See Line Gallery was established
in the interest of bringing a wide range of national and
international emerging artists to the attention of Los Angeles
art enthusiasts. Over the course of the past year See Line
has generated buzz in the art community and attracted attention
for consistently exhibiting compelling work. To celebrate
the success of the past year and introduce a notable artist
to the LA community, See Line will present a special event
marking the opening of Hybrids, new work by Ebony G. Patterson.
The opening reception of September 8th will feature music
and cuisine inspired by Patterson’s native Jamaica.
Highly respected and widely exhibited in her native Jamaica,
Ebony G. Patterson is beginning to receive recognition in
the international art scene. Known for her exploration and
abstraction of sensuous femininity through Jamaican cultural
identity, growing interest in the work of this young, prize-winning
artist has resulted in numerous exhibitions in Jamaica and
Europe. Accomplished in painting, printmaking and sculpture,
Patterson’s mixed media works can be found in both
public and private collections. Rooted in an interest in
the body as object, Patterson’s representations of
female body reflect a profound fascination with the flesh,
as well a deep interest in aestheticizing both the little
seen and familiar elements of women’s bodies. Combined
with Jamaican references, Patterson’s meditations
on the body and culture resonate in a compelling hybrid
of both content and media – much like the ethnic mélange
of the West Indian culture that permeates her work. Patterson’s
work can be seen concurrently at the Brooklyn Museum’s
Infinite Island: Contemporary Caribbean Art. With this exhibition,
See Line Gallery celebrates the completion of a successful
first year and reaffirms its commitment to bringing attention
to distinctive work from both the US and abroad. This will
be Ebony G. Patterson’s first exhibition in Los Angeles.
