3-Day Weekend at BxMA
We hope everyone stayed safe during Hurricane Irene. This was the third straight Sunday that it's rained --spoiling your trip to the Bronx Museum. This weekend, Saturday, Sunday, (11-6pm) & Labor Day, (11-4pm) we will be open! --not to mention Thursday and Friday (Free Admission on Friday).
This will be your last chance to view the AIM Biennial exhibition featuring 72 young artists who have completed BxMA's Artist in the Marketplace program. And, coincidentally (maybe, maybe not) next Monday is also the deadline for artists to submit an AIM application to the next pro-dev workshop cycle.

AIM: Artist Professional-Development Program
AIM 32 Now Accepting
Applications!
Deadline: Monday, September 5, 2011
Deadline: Monday, September 5, 2011
The
Artist in the
Marketplace (AIM) program at The Bronx Museum of the Arts was
established in 1980 with the goals of providing networking
opportunities for emerging artists residing in the New York
metropolitan area and of introducing their work to a greater audience.
AIM is structured as a “collaborative
residency” in which participants work directly with established
artists, collectors, art critics, curators, dealers, lawyers, and other
art world professionals. The 13-week seminar is offered annually to 36
participants, culminating with a biennial exhibition of the
participants’ work in June 2013.
AIM sessions provide information,
instruction, and professional guidance by addressing areas of practical
concern to artists, among them curatorial practice, copyright law,
exhibition and public art opportunities, gallery representation, grant
writing, and marketing. Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 6-8 pm at
The Bronx Museum of the Arts and off-site locations.
Among past participants
in the
AIM program are Glenn Ligon—who was one of the early
AIM artists
and whose work was first exhibited at the Bronx Museum—and Polly Apfelbaum, Rina Banerjee, Amy Cutler, Anton Vidokle, and Pheobe
Washburn.
