Metropolitan Commercial Bank Hosts Third Bank on Art Showcase
Paintings by Local Artists from the Gold Coast Arts Center on Display Through November 15, 2016
Metropolitan Commercial Bank® welcomed the Great Neck and surrounding communities to an opening night celebration for the Bank’s third Bank on Art Showcase™. The Showcase features over 45 paintings and ceramics by young student artists from the Gold Coast Arts Center. The celebration was held at Metropolitan Commercial Bank’s banking center, located at 111 Great Neck Road, Great Neck Plaza, NY 11021. The Showcase is open to the public through November 15, 2016 during regular banking hours.
“Hosting local events, like our Bank on Art Showcases, is just one example of our on-going commitment to the Great Neck community,” said Laura Capra, Senior Vice President and Head of Retail Banking. “We will continue to host, sponsor and support many more community events and programs in our Great Neck banking center and at other Great Neck and neighboring community venues.”
During the opening night celebration, more than 50 community members, including the young artists, their families and friends, enjoyed light refreshments while viewing and admiring the wide variety of paintings and ceramic creations on display. Jan Kus, a music teacher at the Arts Center and professional saxophonist, provided musical entertainment during the evening’s festivities.
“We are thrilled that Metropolitan Commercial Bank has graciously opened its doors to us and provided our young artists with this wonderful opportunity to display their artwork. Tonight was a very special event for them and their families,” said Regina Gil, Executive Director of the Arts Center. “We are looking forward to developing additional opportunities to partner with the Bank for the benefit of our community.”
