Ruddy Mejia: Wearable Art for our Anniversary Party

Anniversary, Fundraising

By Natalie Caro
With only few days left until we blow the candles out and make our big birthday wish, BxArts Factory is hard at work fashioning what will be a fascinating night.
Ruddy Mejia a self taught Bronx artist, a place that for him, “provided the perfect blend of influences.. to translate his passion into pieces of artwork that document, question, and demand deep observation[,]” will be converting collaborative pieces that move art from frames that live on walls to work that can be worn in the form of hard-pressed buttons.
Rudy is currently the Art Specialist at Bronx House Inc. and has most recently participated in “Outside the Box,” an event curated by Lady K. Fever.  Also joining Ruddy we will have Eric Mendoza who is a local Graphic Designer.
Supporters will walkout with a hand made piece and make our birthday wish come true; contributing to our fundraising goal for the evening.
Contributions collected this night will directly fund our 2017 free programs such as Nesting the Arts Project, among many others!
Purchase your tickets to our anniversary party today and help us celebrate.

Gabriel Chakarji and Carmela Ramirez will be playing and singing live at our Anniversary

Uncategorized

 

We are beyond thrilled to have the amazing Gabriel Chakarji and Carmela Ramirez playing and singing live at our anniversary!!! Their album Vida/Life will be also available for purchase!

Buy your tickets today: www.2anniversarybxaf.eventbrite.com
The young music talents Carmela Ramirez and Gabriel Chakarji get together in a creative period of their lives, where they decide to undertake a project based on their commitment to the Venezuelan and Latin American music. His constant search for new musical horizons led them to compose music thinking on the traditions of their culture approached in a contemporary way which quickly made up the personality and the sound of this duo.
After successful performances in his hometown Caracas, producer German Landaeta offers them the idea of recording an album. Combining his expertise and technical excellence with the passion and creativity of the young duo it was finished in just one day of recording. That’s how “Life “was” born.
Recorded live entirely in Chacao Cultural Center Theater, “Life” presents 12 compositions by Carmela and Gabriel inspired in their direct influences, traditional Venezuelan music, Latin American folk and Jazz. The album also features a peculiar drum/percussion sound created by two percussionists Yilmer Vivas and Orestes Gomez that blends ingeniously with the voice and piano. It also features special guests Rafael Greco and Andres Barrios, famous venezuelan composers and instrumentalists.  “Life” presents a picture of a unique moment where art, creativity and sincerity were the only rule.

12×12 Ways of Sustainability: How You Can Make the Holidays Home Again

Exhibitions, Fundraising

By Natalie Caro

In a time where big box stores threaten local economies, holidays have become the battle ground for sustainable growth in our communities. Instead of gifting iPads and other popular branded store- bought items, what about gifting  hand crafted art? Our anniversary event, will provide an opportunity to gift a one of kind present.
For the last two years, BxArts Factory has held on exhibition an amazing collection of 12×12 pieces created by talented artists from the Bronx and beyond.  We are fortunate enough to have a few pieces left, but we must return unsold pieces to their creators soon.
Our 12×12 pieces will be available for purchase during our Anniversary event. Each purchase not only supports a local artist and a local economy, but it also  contribute to our fundraiser goal for 2017 and bringing arts programming to local community members.
Do something sustainable.
Buy something beautiful.
​Bring art to your home and to homes of your neighbors.
