THE BRONX MUSEUM OF THE ARTS
As the only fine arts museum in the borough, The Bronx Museum of the Arts ↗ presents ongoing special solo and group exhibitions
of twentieth-century and contemporary art. It also features exhibitions
of contemporary and historical relevance to the Bronx and its
residents, exhibitions based on its Permanent Collection as well
as group and solo exhibitions of emerging, mid-career, and established
artists. The Museum's Permanent Collection highlights the work
of artists not typically represented within more traditional or
mainstream museums, namely artists of African, Asian, and Latin
American ancestry.
The Bronx Museum of Arts' Education Programs provides the public and
its Members with opportunities to explore the ideas and issues
behind contemporary cultural production. Through its exhibitions
and Permanent Collection, some of today's most innovative programs
and events in arts education are offered.
The Witness Perspectives on Police Violence is supported at
the Bronx Museum through the Collaborative Art Projects (CAP).
CAP art beyond the Museum's walls extends public
access to contemporary art through collaborative-based projects
and public art interventions with emerging and established artists.
The Project's goals are to strengthen the role of art in everyday
life, to deepen the understanding of contemporary cultural production,
and to foster meaningful participation in the Museum's programming.
In addition to talks, lectures, readings, student programs and performances,
our educational program includes the Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) - a professional development and career
management program for emerging artists features 12-week seminars
with artists and arts professionals culminating in an annual group
exhibition. Thirty-six emerging artists are selected each year
for enrollment in the fall or spring semesters of this innovative
program.
