Artist Saya Woolfalk turns her speculative WoodsWoman project on the Bronx Museum's permanent collection, pulling works about the cosmos, nature and collective storytelling alongside her own process materials. The same free party opens a show curated by fourteen NYC high school students and Alex Strada's Public Address, which puts the words of people living in shelters on signs in Joyce Kilmer Park. If you want a real art opening with complimentary drinks and bites on the Concourse, go.
What to expect
Expect a lively lobby and galleries, artists and organizers mingling with guests, and complimentary beverages and snacks. Plan time for all three shows, then walk a few blocks south to Joyce Kilmer Park to see Public Address outdoors.
