Sign up for Teen Project Studio 2.0, a free 11-week program for teens and young adults ages 15-26! This winter, participants in Teen Project Studio +2.0 will continue working with @kan_landscape_design to design a public art installation honoring the Black Lives Matter movement. The installation will take place in The Bronx, located at the triangle plaza on East Tremont and Devoe Avenue at 179th Street, near the BRAC building. Teen Project Studio not only teaches young artist...s about making public art, but grants them the opportunity to be part of an actual project and involves them throughout the entire process: from design, to prototyping, to final installation. TPS +2.0's last project was the Hunts Point benches commission from McInnis Cement. Visit the Education page on our website at http://www.bronxriverart.org/education.cfm for more information on how to apply and sign up. Both TPS and our paid art classes start up again on January 5th! #teenprojectstudio #plywoodprotectionproject #publicart #bronxriverartcenter #kanlandscapedesign #freeartclass #artclass #brac #tacticalurbanism #bronxarts #blacklivesmatter

Tomorrow is the final day of our JUSTICE exhibition, and to mark the occasion, we're closing it out by screening @carlhancockrux and @carriemaeweems' short film "The Baptism" alongside the show for the duration of our open gallery hours (12pm - 5pm). A huge thank you to the artists whose work we've displayed over the past few weeks and to everyone who has continued to engage with our programs during this time. #artexhibition #artinthebronx #bronxriverartcenter #juanitalanzo #tijaymohammed #tammywofsey #lauraalvarez #rejinleys #justice #justiceart #covid19 #diversity #socialjustice #bronxart #lincolncenter #visualpoetry #freeversepoetry #carlhancockrux #carriemaeweems #thebaptism

@holmessamantha's "Mundillo/Little World", created with the support of @nyc_dotart and the Bronx River Art Center, is currently on exhibit just outside the West Farms Square - East Tremont Avenue train station. Collaborating with Bronx-based lacemakers to inform the Puerto Rican patterns woven into the steel, and with the aid of @4thstatellc to bring it to life, Samantha Holmes' metal sculpture is a monument to women's work and the cultural dynamism of the Bronx. The numerous... openings in the steel offers an ever-changing composition from whatever angle you view the piece: be it from the ground or from the subway stairs. BRAC has worked together previously with Holmes on a 2018 installation titled "The Cavalry" in nearby Starlight Park. #publicart #publicsculpture #metalsculpture #lacework #metalwork #artinthebronx #bronxarts #bronxartists #artistmom #artistmother #samanthaholmes #DOTArt #communitycommissions
