Our “face” to the community, and the city at large, is our exhibitions program. BRAC’s exhibitions are designed to affect cultural and social change through art that is both innovative and educational. We support our guest curators to present fresh arts experiences to the Bronx while nurturing our local talent. A focus of our vision is to blur the lines between professional art practice and community self-expression. Many of the artists we show embrace a social-practice mode of operation that is as much about making a sociopolitical statement as it is about creating a resonant visual experience. For each exhibit, we include community engagement activities such as tours, panels, and workshops, as well as mixers and virtual art productions that align with the pulse of our community.
The Bronx River Art Center (BRAC) invites proposals from Independent Curators.
Open Call is currently closed. Look for new announcement in January 2027.
We welcome proposals for our 1100 square foot storefront gallery. We look for both solo and group exhibitions that reflect curatorial innovation, community engagement, and a commitment to elevating emerging or underrepresented voices. We especially encourage proposals featuring artists and curators based in the Bronx and New York City. National and international curators are also welcome to apply.
Selected curators will be responsible for:
-
Developing a cohesive curatorial proposal
-
Sourcing artworks and communicating with artists
-
Developing and managing the exhibition concept
-
Coordinating with artists and securing artworks
-
Writing exhibition texts
-
Organizing at least one public program (e.g. talk, workshop, performance)
-
Managing & Coordinating exhibit design and installation
-
Providing all materials/text for marketing needs
-

-

-
Adhering to all deadlines and timelines provided by BRAC
We encourage proposals that align with BRAC’s mission to support artists from underrepresented groups—including women and artists of color—and that explore relevant social, environmental, and community-based issues. We welcome interdisciplinary practices and curatorial approaches that push boundaries and foster dialogue across media and audiences.
BRAC’s Exhibitions Program is recognized for its inventive, community-centered exhibitions that respond to the cultural, economic, and social dynamics of the Bronx. Each exhibition is a platform for experimentation, engagement, and artistic excellence.
