Arts Builds Community Collection 

Bronx Children's Museum’s Arts Builds Community (ABC) Collection, curated by Natalie Collette Wood, includes work by fourteen contemporary Bronx-connected artists who have created site-specific installations for the Museum. Each work was directly inspired by the natural environment of the Bronx, its rich history, music and culture and, mostly importantly, the children in our Little Friends of the Museum program. By working with children, the artists have integrated the fantastical spirit and wonder of being a child into their work.

​

Through painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and immersive installations, the artists examine the ways we engage and learn about the world around us. Arts Builds Community creates a bridge linking artists, children and families to learn, share and create with one another. The works in the ABC Collection help us develop a deeper connection with ourselves, the environment and the communities of which we are a part.
