Thank you From the Bottom of Our Hearts
BxArts Factory would like to take some time and thank everyone that came out to our 1st Fundraising Event; 12”x12”! We had an amazing crowd (around 300 people) that made the atmosphere powerful, fun, inspiring, and so unbelievable supporting! We felt like we had a big family reunion!
We have many people to thank for the successful event! Our event was welcome with open arms by Dave Lopez, Kieran Farrell and all the incredible staff at the Gun Hill Brewing Company! We also would like to recognize the help Fernando Tirado (Bronx on the Go) gave us to be able to connect with this amazing local business.
The night was filled with joy as many friends, family members, community organizations and artists came to support us! A big shout out to the following organizations that were present and contributed to our amazing night: Transportation Alternatives, Bronx Museum of the Arts, BronxNet, Beer and Bend, Welcome2theBronx, Morris Perk, Bronx Documentary Center, Poets Network & Exchange, Inc Full Circle Ensemble, YUCA Arts, Beyond Organic Design, among many, many others!
We also had the participation of some amazing musical guest and we would like to thank them for their superb performances! Please support and follow them on social media: Gamaliel Padilla, 2 in the Afternoon, Elena Rosa Music, Alpha and Walter Halvorsen and Eve’s Fault!
We are blessed to have the most amazing volunteers! You guys rock! Thank you Natalie Caro, Lee Ann Cadiz, Savi Lopez, Manny Figueroa and the awesome selfie girls Sofia and Susej! We were oh so lucky to also have amazing MC Mike Gupta! He just was a delight! Thank you so much guys!
A big thank you to the amazing caricaturists Pablo D. Martinez and Kenly Dillard for the live art! You guys rock!
Last but not least we are eternally grateful to all the 82 artists that participated in this open call and were exhibited in the 1st international small format 12”x12” art exhibition! Cheers to you, because without your support, trust and confidence we would not be able to do what we do! (Please keep an eye for our next blog posting to include a complete list of artists!!)
We are happy to announce that we sold 10 pieces during our event! We are extremely proud of this accomplishment! If you miss the event do not worry! Art work will be on sale at our Online Gallery (coming this week!).
Thank you to our photographers for the night Trevon Blondet – BlackBlonde Images, Cynthia Sepulveda-Caballero – Flaco Coquito, Kathleen Canzoniero and Ignacio Soltero.
