Bronx Museum of the Arts

The Bronx Museum of the Arts (BxMA) is re-envisioning the role of museums in contemporary society: it addresses the changing needs of its diverse constituencies, while standing at the forefront of scholarly discourse, museum practices, and innovative public programs. As such, BxMA is recognized as "an important player in shaping New York art of both the present and the future" (The New York Times).

The Bronx Museum was founded in 1971 by a group of local residents to bring the visual arts to the Bronx. In the past three decades, BxMA has presented hundreds of critically acclaimed exhibitions featuring works by culturally diverse and under-recognized artists from a spectrum of levels, on themes of special interest to the Bronx community, and themes that explore the intersections between popular culture and contemporary art. The Museum strives to present exhibitions that expand discourse and scholarship, promote cross-cultural dialogue, and resonate with urban audiences.
