“The Bronx Museum of the Arts' Board of Trustees and Staff are excited about this new phase in the life of the museum. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary and look towards the next 50; this project presents a unique opportunity to envision and realize what a 21st century, community-based, globe-spanning museum should be. The renovation will strengthen our capacity to meet our community’s needs, by amplifying our ability to educate, engage and accommodate our visitors. The project will simultaneously reflect our values and priorities, including our commitments to accessibility, equity, and transparency.” - Klaudio Rodriguez (The Bronx Museum of the Arts' Executive Director)

The renovation of the space includes construction of a new South Wing Atrium and main entrance, located on the corner of Grand Concourse and 165th Street, which will: 

• Create an enhanced entrance to the Museum with a spacious lobby that includes seating, gathering space and large street-facing walls for artwork 
• Activate the new space and façade to showcase artwork while connecting with the community and enticing patrons to enter the museum  
• Serve as an extension of the sidewalk, offering multiple opportunities for art and public programming to be visible from the street 

Please note the RFP for this project is now closed. Stay tuned for more information.
