Join us as we celebrate the revamping of BronxGear and celebrate local Bronx artists, designers and creatives. We will have local talents “art-walk” their work, ribbon-cutting the BronxGear store and celebrate with music, food, drinks and merchandise!!
What is “Art-walk” ? Art-walk comes from the idea of a “cat-walk” in which artists showcase and walk down the runway with their crafts/art!
BronxGear merchandise will be available for sale !!!
“BronxGear is THE POINT CDC’s store and art space designated as a site for artist to sell their crafts as well as home to THE POINT’s merchandise- which goes towards funding our youth, environment justice and art programs. The mission of BronxGear is to sell Bronx-related items or Bronx-artist crafts/art in a space that is accessible and communal.
BronxGear began in 1990 with the initiative of making tee-shirts and hand-painted silk scarves made by local youth, pre-dating the establishment of THE POINT itself. Today, BronxGear maintains this mission and expands to include local Bronx artist, designers and creatives with a space and platform to promote and sell their art.”
