Launch of 'the art book'
On Friday 14th June, the Central Bank launched the 55th Anniversary edition of its art book. The first edition was published in 2004 to commemorate the Bank’s 40th Anniversary. Since that time the collection has grown and the Bank wanted to update the book to reflect the new landscape of the collection.
Among guests at the launch were members of the Board of Directors of the Bank, staff, and artists and their families.
Mrs. Nicole Crooks welcomed guests and opened the formal part of the launch, she was followed by Governor Alvin Hilaire who gave the feature address.
