Final Week For No Longer Empty’s Exhibition At The Old Bronx Courthouse

In case you haven’t made it yet and have been meaning to do so, this is your last chance at getting inside the Old Bronx Courthouse for No Longer Empty’s exhibition, ‘When You Cut Into The Past The Future Leaks Out’.

To date, over 6,000 people have entered to check out the space, exhibition and dozens of programs and events. 75% of these visitors have been from within the community and The Bronx—and that’s not counting the over 1,000 youth and students who have come over on school trips for educational programming!

People have even left suggestions on what they want to see at Old Bronx Courthouse (someone said they’d like to see it as their own home!).

Check out the events for this week’s closing:
