A message from us:

What a phenomenal week for 6x6! Thank you to everyone who has purchased artworks online, visited the gallery, shared the exhibition with friends, and joined us for an incredible First Friday. 6x6 is off to a fantastic start, and it is reminding us just how unifying art can be. More than 3,000 artists from around the world created and donated artwork to support RoCo. Receiving this generosity and seeing so many people connect through our venue and these small artworks is always touching. We also owe so much to our incredible team of volunteers, who help make 6x6 possible; our exhibition sponsors and underwriters, who supported this year's show; and Dan O’Donnell for the smart pair of postcard designs. From all of us at RoCo, thank you for showing up, collecting small artworks and being part of what makes 6x6 so special. Of course there's plenty of time to visit us, discover a new acquisition, and support RoCo. Every artwork purchased directly supports RoCo's future exhibitions. - Bleu Cease Executive Director / Curator and all of us at RoCo

Dear Friend, As we continue work on our South Wing renovation and campus transformation, our reopening timeline has been readjusted to Fall 2027. But one thing is important to say clearly: The Bronx Museum is not closing—far from it. Throughout this transition, we will remain active with exhibitions, artist presentations, performances, educational initiatives, and community programming across The Bronx and beyond. Rooted in access, equity, and creative excellence, The Bronx Museum remains committed to providing free and open access to contemporary art while championing artists and serving as a vital cultural gathering space for our community. At this pivotal moment in the Museum’s history, we invite you to support our mission and help shape our future. DONATE With your generosity, we can continue to: • Build the future home of The Bronx Museum for generations to come • Present free contemporary art exhibitions and programs • Support emerging and underrepresented artists • Provide bilingual educational and cultural programming Every gift, at every level, directly supports artists, audiences, and accessible cultural programming during this important period of growth and renewal. Thank you for believing in the power of art, community, and access for all. With heartfelt gratitude, Shamim M. Momin Director and Chief Curator P.S. Every dollar you give sustains free access to art for our community. Thank you for helping us carry forward this bold vision.  DONATE ABOUT THE MUSEUM 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.
