NASSAU, Bahamas --  On July 24th, 2012 students of the RBC Summer Arts Workshop visited the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB). The visit to NAGB enhanced the ongoing partnership between RBC and the arts community. 
"We are now in the 31st year of the summer arts workshop and every year we strive to enhance the program" said Ms. Tanya McCartney, Managing Director of RBC Finco.  Ms. McCartney continued "we felt that it was important to have the students visit the National Art Gallery so they could see the work of local artists and be inspired by them."

The RBC Summer Arts Workshop is a testament to RBC's support of the arts and their commitment to the growth and development of arts in The Bahamas.  The workshop is the most comprehensive art program for young Bahamian art students.
Through its partnership with the Ministry of Education, the RBC Summer Arts Workshop course aligns with the requirements of The Bahamas Junior Certificate (BJC) and Bahamas General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) exams.
