What is Exnihilo

Exnihilo is a haven for personal creative endeavor. We offer art professionals and art students alike an inspirational space to explore new works either in community with other artists, or within private studio space for an extended period of time. Located on beautiful Long Island in The Bahamas, exnihilo is a retreat for artists. whether you're a painter, writer, musician, ceramicist, jeweler, or other creative spirit, exnihilo retreat is a place you can go to recharge your spirit, escape your normal location, and create in a small piece of paradise. 

Ex nihilo is a Latin term meaning "out of nothing". It is often used in conjunction with the term creation, as in creatio ex nihilo, meaning "creation out of nothing".

Our Philosophy

We believe that the ability to create art is a gift. It is a gift that needs to be nurtured within a balanced lifestyle. Having a peaceful place to work without distraction for an extended period of time is a part of this balance.

Imagine...

no phones, no television...no distractions.
Inspirational space in which to work and reflect,

community with other artists,

and good food, recreation, and rest.
At Exnihilo, these are the things that we believe foster the spark of creativity in every artist.
