GALLERY HOURS:
Tuesday - Friday: 2:30 - 6 PM
Saturday: 12 - 5 PM
Gallery hours are only in effect during the exhibition dates.
Our “face” to the community, and the city at large, is our exhibitions program, which offers five or more annual exhibitions of energetic contemporary art in our ground-floor, 2,000 sq. ft. gallery. This program has become known for both its deft curatorial vision and its ability to produce ambitious and challenging exhibitions with ingenuity and immediacy. We strive to expose various paradigms of contemporary art to the litmus test of our local Bronx community and the cultural, economic, and social landscape that defines it.
BRAC’s exhibitions are designed to affect cultural and social change through art that is both innovative and educational. We support our guest curators to present fresh arts experiences to the Bronx while nurturing our local talent. A focus of our vision is to blur the lines between professional art practice and community self-expression. Many of the artists we show embrace a social-practice mode of operation that is as much about making a sociopolitical statement as it is about creating a resonant visual experience. For each exhibit, we include community engagement activities such as tours, panels, and workshops, as well as mixers and virtual art productions that align with the pulse of our community.
