Michael Frith’s Legacy in Puppets and Purpose | Bermuda News

Michael Frith, the visionary behind Fraggle Rock and Between the Lions, has wrapped up a wildly successful exhibition titled “From Pencil to Puppet,” drawing 17,000 visitors to Bermuda’s National Gallery. Featuring over 350 pieces—from sketches to puppets—the show celebrated his collaborations with legends like Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson, as well as his deep ties to Bermuda’s natural beauty. Frith, initially skeptical about public interest in cartoon drawings, was moved by the response and used the exhibit to honor the creative spirits he’s worked with. He also shared how his nonprofit, No Strings Productions, uses puppets to deliver life-saving messages on landmine safety and HIV/AIDS to children worldwide. Encouraging young artists to defy corporate doubt and embrace bold experimentation, Frith’s legacy shines brightly as the gallery gears up for its next big event: the Bermuda Biennial, opening September 26.
