The Seventh AIM Biennial gathers 28 artists from the Bronx Museum's fellowship program, and for one afternoon those artists come out of the wall labels and run the building themselves. You can make a memory box with AIM artist kiarita on the second floor, sit in on a dialogue about fugitivity in art, then hear the artists talk about their own work at 3:30. If you have ever wanted to ask a working artist what a piece actually means, this is the rare free afternoon where you can.
What to expect
Three floors of simultaneous programming: hands-on art-making stations suitable for children and adults, a workshop with RSVP on the third floor, and two seated talks aimed at adults. The museum is mid-renovation but open, so expect a slightly compressed circulation route between galleries.
Good to know
- Take the B or D train to 167 St, or the 4 to 167 St; the museum is on the Grand Concourse
- Admission to The Bronx Museum is always free for everyone
- The Diana Guerra workshop requires an RSVP; the drop-in art-making does not
- Art-making activities suit both young children and adults; the talks are pitched at adults
- The museum is undergoing renovation, so gallery routing may be partially rerouted
- Good for families, art students, and anyone who wants to meet working artists
