Celebrating Bahamian Culture
The design for Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will be inspired by the natural environment and celebrate the culture and spirit of The Bahamas.
Disney Imagineers have spent significant time with local artists and cultural experts in The Bahamas. Together, they have explored arts and cultural sites across New Providence and Eleuthera, from Junkanoo shacks to noted art galleries. Kevin Cooper, a master artist from Eleuthera and Antonius Roberts, a master artist from Nassau, are anchoring Disney’s efforts to work with the local creative community.
Disney also hosted a delegation from The Bahamas at Aulani, its resort in Hawaii, to share how the company successfully integrated Hawaiian culture into the design of this destination. Aulani was recently honored with the Pūlamahia Award, a new award from the Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association that recognizes an organization for furthering the Native Hawaiian culture through their daily operations.
