November 5 – December 24
In December 2014, a group of Bronx community members launched a new non-profit dedicated to making the arts accessible to residents of The Bronx. Inspired by their unique, but, also, similar experiences with art and creativity, BxArts Factory represent a shared vision to facilitate a vibrant space for artists to create and share their work. Over the past nine months, our programming has included film screenings, panels, poetry presentations, outdoor community engagement and art events and educational and networking activities for artists and residents. And while we managed to do all of this without a space, we’d like to have a permanent location of our own to host you and your neighbors. We are raising money to obtain our space. This year, we plan to expand our programming in big and important ways. We plan to have a series of hands-on skill-developing workshops for local youths and other community members, art exhibitions focused on topics like gentrification, nostalgia and the misplacement of memories in immigrant populations, government surveillance, etc. via film screenings, panel discussions, and outdoor events all free of cost to community members. Our new space will be a place where the community and artists can work together. With a variety of art and culture related events we can have an impactful year in The Bronx. We would love for you to join us in bringing art to every household! Help us reach our goal!
Your contribution to our campaign will help us with the following:
- It will provide funds to pay rent for a year in a location in the Bronx.
- It will provide us with funds to have a series of art related workshops for youth, young children and adults.
- It will provide us with funds to have 2 art exhibitions and related programming such as panels, film screenings and community engagement events.
- It will help us with our partnership with Beyond Organic Design in creating opportunities for children and parents to get involved with permaculture and gardens.
- It will help us create an open community space so community members and Bronx artists can come create.
