The Bronx Museum of the Arts is an inexpensive tourist attraction. Suggested admission: $3 for Students and seniors, $5 for adults, Free for members and Children under 12, and free on Wednesdays.
Throughout the year this museum features different exhibits such as the current AIM 25 exhibition where artists use portraits to address political and social issues. The artists also use synesthesia to explore human movements in their works.
Wednesdays the museum takes a different twist on art, combining various art forms such as music, performance, and film and creating a common hip-hop vibe for the community to enjoy in an easy to understand manner.
One of the general concerns of the museum is how the public views contemporary art. The Bronx Museum of the Arts tries to encourage visitors and the public to join in some of their many public programs to help bridge the gap between contemporary art and its public perception.
