| In anticipation of Saya Woolfalk’s inaugural installation for The Bronx Museum’s renovated main lobby, opening in 2027, the Museum is collaborating with the artist to share her creative process through The WoodsWoman Method. Woolfalk has envisioned the WoodsWoman as a botanist-healer and mythic character. The WoodsWoman Method functions as both an exhibition and laboratory, bringing together Woolfalk’s process materials from the project with works from the Museum’s permanent collection. |

| We are partnering with Storefront for Art and Architecture, DSS, and the DCLA to bring artist Alex Strada’s project Public Address to The Bronx. Public Address platforms the perspectives of people living and working in NYC shelters through official DOT signage. Beginning September 14, you can see a central installation of signs at Joyce Kilmer Park with additional signage throughout the borough. Join free public celebrations for the project at the Park on Sep 23, from 5–7 PM, and at The Bronx Museum on Oct 9 from 6–8 PM. |

| | | For over five decades, The Bronx Museum has been a vanguard of cultural diversity and accessibility in the contemporary art world. The Museum offers 100% free admission for everyone to all its exhibitions and programs, providing a vital creative outlet to the public. Through its curatorial practices, including a permanent collection, the Museum seeks to champion and promote artists who have been systemically and historically marginalized. The history and culture of The Bronx are a never-ending source of inspiration for the Museum, and its programs are designed to facilitate meaningful engagement with the people of the borough while also attracting visitors from all over New York City and the world. The Bronx Museum is a leader in the cultural sphere with its unwavering commitment to access, dedication to platforming underrepresented artists, and dynamic community-engaged programming. |
