Harvest Move: A Month-Long Celebration and Fund Drive
*To purchase tickets to the fundraiser or to pay your artist submission fee use Google Checkout located at http://bronxriverart.org/events.cfm
WHY: This fall marks a critical moment in the Bronx River Art Center’s (BRAC) nearly 25-year history, as a two-year renovation of our building is set to break ground in January 2011. This renovation will ensure that BRAC will be an inviting and safe haven for generations to come. During this time, we intend to maintain our commitment to providing quality visual arts and digital media instruction, and presenting cutting-edge and socially significant contemporary art at locations throughout the Bronx as part of our “BRAC on the Block” off-site programming plan. But, these changes also present the additional costs of moving and multiple rents for our temporary spaces, which we seek to address through a month-long series of celebratory fundraising events. Our goal is to ensure that all of our supporters and participants are aware of, and can find, our temporary residencies and, to ask the Bronx community to help us meet the additional expenses associated with this broad distribution of our programming.
WHAT: Throughout September, our “Harvest Move” fundraising drive will offer several fun-filled activities:
The BIG event – a celebratory FUNdraising Party on the Harvest Moon (fall equinox), with live music, a DJ, and a free happy hour from 6 – 7 PM, all for the nominal benefit ticket price of $20 per person or two for $30.
WHERE: At BRAC’s building at 1087 E. Tremont Ave.
WHEN: Thursday, Sept 23rd from 6 – 9 PM.
AND: The FUNdraising Party will also include an audience juried Art exhibition and sale. Artists who submit will have a chance to win a cash prize! More info on how to submit can be found at http://bronxriverart.org/events.cfm

During the month of September, we will also gladly accept donations online through Google Checkout at http://bronxriverart.org/events.cfm as we count down to our “Harvest Move” fundraising goal of $50,000. This amount will secure our multiple rents for our first year out of our building and cover our moving costs so that all of our FY11 operating budget can be spent on providing our first-rate arts programming.
