Bronx Speaks: No Boundaries

'Bronx Speaks: No Boundaries' is the latest exhibit presented by the Bronx Arts Alliance (BxAA) including over 60 artworks selected by a curatorial committee and featuring Bronx, US and International Artists from over 20 Bronx arts organizations. The exhibit will take place at The Bronx Museum of the Arts and will be coordinated by independent curator Sarah Corona. The exhibit is being presented in concert with New York Armory Week. The Opening Reception will take place on March 6th, the Armory Show's officially designated Bronx Day. There are no boundaries anymore for the vibrant, dynamic and diverse artwork that is being created and shown within the Bronx. It is as varied as those who live within its space – all cultures, nationalities and ages – with creative visions all their own. The exhibit will reach from corner to corner of the world and include artists born internationally in India, Thailand, Nigeria, Cuba, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Canada and Scotland; within the United States… and of course…the Bronx! The featured artwork will include painting, works on paper, sculpture, photography, mixed media, site-specific installations, as well as musical performances from those newly arrived emerging artists to late career established ones. 'Bronx Speaks: No Boundaries' will preview on Wednesday, March 5th and run through Sunday, March 9th. The Opening Reception will take place from 5:30pm on March 6th.
