Artsist Engage - Get Together
Since its founding, BCA has been committed to offering direct services and funding to systematically underresourced and underrepresented groups - artists of color, women, veterans, and the LGBTQ+ community, among others. This legacy of sharing space, connecting, and building brought the community together on November 8, 2024
With drinks, music, light refreshments to go, the Bronx Council on the Arts (BCA) hosted a night of connection and reflection at their East Tremont location in the Bronx, New York.
In attendance were artists, staff, and community leaders such as Elena Martínez (Co-Artistic Director, Bronx Music Heritage Center) and Daniel Freeman (Director, Inspiration Point, and Chanelle Aponte Pearson, BCA Programs Manager, who shared experiences and community initiatives.
