“The Bronx Artist Documentary Project”

Andrew Freedman Home

This event has ended.

The Bronx Artist Documentary Project brings long‐deserved attention to wide variety of highly
accomplished artists and photographers who find their inspiration in the Bronx, and to the
power of art as a catalyst for change and positive growth in the urban environment.

The Bronx Artist Documentary Project is also fostering new connections between artists and
photographers from City Island to Mott Haven, Spuyten Duyvil to Hunts Point, and Morris
Heights to Arthur Avenue, across generations, backgrounds, and artistic practices, opening up
new opportunities for collaboration and exchange within the artistic community at large.

More than just portraits, the photographs document the artists in the moment of creation,
doing what they do best in whatever space or location they have found in which to do it. The
result is an opportunity to witness the “unseen” artistic process and creative work that is at the
very heart of the current cultural renaissance in the Bronx.

The exhibition will be enhanced by a series of public programs including artist talks, hands‐on
demonstrations, and panel discussions to encourage greater appreciation and interaction
between artists and the community. Following the exhibition, the photographs will be
published in a fine art book that will provide an enduring record of the artistic community in
the Bronx at this significant moment of dynamic transformation.
