Bronx River Art Center presents:

The 2006 STUDENT EXHIBITION AND BENEFIT SALE

HOLIDAY PARTY ON DECEMBER 15TH

BRAC invites the Bronx community to come celebrate the accomplishments of our talented youth and to support BRAC’s mission to provide art and environmental education to our community.
The exhibition will include paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, darkroom/digital photography, graphic design, 3D virtual worlds, sound installations and films produced by youth, adults and parent/child teams in our FREE fine arts and digital media classes. The event will feature presentations of awards and certificates, screenings of student films, refreshments and a musical performance by “The Three Caballeros.” Original works of art, student designed and printed tee-shirts, scented sachets and other BRAC products will be available for sale.

Thanks to generous support from the US Congressman Jose E Serrano’s WCS-NOAA Lower Bronx River Partnership, The New York City Departments of Youth and Community Development and Cultural Affairs, Time Warner, Helena Rubenstein and many other benefactors, BRAC offers unique opportunities for students to interact with highly-skilled professional artists in a focused educational setting. BRAC is especially grateful for the support that we receive from the Bronx community through fundraising efforts like our benefit sales. Proceeds from the sale will assist in keeping affordable quality arts programming for Bronx youth and community residents.
