Join us for an exciting Community Art Exhibit with BronxArtSpace, curated by Beverly Emers. This exhibition aims to highlight the profound relationship between people and land—stories of struggle, reclamation, and preservation. We welcome works that explore themes such as: Community-led land trusts. The history and future of green spaces in the BronxLand as a source of cultural identity and resilience. Albert Quinones and the impact of "52 People for Progress". Environmental justice and the fight for equitable land use. This event is part of the SPARCS initiative, bringing free, community-driven activities to your neighborhood. Come dance with us—register now!

Exhibiting artists include Whitney Browne, Nicky Enright, Ricky Flores, Carmen Paulino, Azekiwe Providence, and five2420.

About SPARCS: Since February 2023, 3x3, in collaboration with CUNY’s Center for Systems and Community Design (CSCD) and Partnerships for Parks, has been working to develop and launch co-designed, park-based programming in four New York City parks. This initiative explores how parks can serve as catalysts for improving residents’ physical and mental well-being.

SPARCS Goals: At its core, SPARCS examines how community-led activations in neighborhood parks can influence health-related outcomes. The study focuses on mental health and well-being indicators— such as anxiety, stress, and loneliness—as well as social and physical well-being measures.

About Al Quiñones Art Club: Al Quiñones Art Club was created in response to community feedback highlighting the need for more youth arts-based programming, increased opportunities for creative expression, and spaces that bring residents together across generations.

Throughout the engagement process, residents emphasized the importance of cultural programming that also reflects the South Bronx’s rich artistic heritage and provides a platform for connection, self-expression, and celebration.

The Al Quiñones Art Club will offer a series of free, accessible, and community-driven arts programs, including dance, music, theater, poetry and visual arts workshops. With the park’s amphitheater as a central hub, the program carries forward the legacy of advocacy and empowerment that has long defined this park and its community.

On view: September 4 - October 11, 2025
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 4, 5-8pm

Exhibiting artists include Frances Riordan, Cory Tyler, Jason Valles, Maria Alcantara, Eddie Carella, Teresa Harris, Keenen Foster, Bin Feng, Gisela Montalvo, Lineton Gilchrist, Delvis Sandoval, Edgar Romero, Shelly Worble, Earl Jaugu, Ray Lezcano, David Francis, Jeremy Gonzalez, Vanessa Santiago, Jamie Armah, Jose Vasquez and Richard Smith.

Bronx, NY – ArTech Collective & BronxArtSpace presents This will be My Method, a group exhibition featuring Bronx-based artists from the progressive art studio, ArTech Collective. The Exhibition is on view at BronxArtSapace at 700 Manida St. Bronx, NY from September 4 to October 11, 2025. Attendance during gallery hours (Thursday-Friday, 2pm-6pm & Saturdays 12pm-5pm) is free; no reservations are required.

This will be My Method presents a group exhibition highlighting the creativity and unique perspectives of Bronx-based visual artists from the progressive art studio, ArTech Collective. Featuring a wide range of media -including painting, sculpture, mixed media, and textiles- the exhibition celebrates the rich diversity of artistic expression nurtured within the studio’s creative community.

The participating artists draw deeply from their personal lives, interests, and histories to create works that are bold, expressive, and wholly unique. Whether exploring historical characters, popular culture or the everyday, each artist channels their ideas into visual forms that reflect their artistic visions.

More than a display of technical skill, This will be My Method reveals the rich inner worlds of its creators. Every piece stands as a statement and celebration of individual style and voice, supported and inspired by a collaborative art-studio dynamic.

Founded by the nonprofit AHRC New York City, ArTech Collective is a progressive art studio that provides opportunities for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities to express themselves creatively and expand their practice through artistic development. ArTech empowers artists by providing studio spaces, art supplies, and access to a community of peers and mentors. For more information about ArTech Collective visit, www.artechcollective.com.
