Feature: NAGB Mural Projects

Inside the Administrative Building of the NAGB are some not so hidden gems. Standing at an imposing and statuesque height in middle of the building are a series of four murals by prominent Bahamian artists. Each artist was given license to let the large canvases speak to them and do as they please. As a result, the NAGB hosts four very different murals, reflecting each artists particular style and concept. Below are short videos based on these murals, click on the links to see the artists at work!

Visually Inclined: The Architecture of the NAGB

For today's post we decided to give our viewers a break from all the reading they have done over the past 2 months. Instead, we are sharing 3 videos made in 2004 featuring past NAGB staff members and the former director, Dr. Erica James.

These videos detail the advent of the NAGB and the creative processes and struggles that its founding members dealt with when constructing the building.
