Bronx Museum Raises $1 Million to Acquire Art

The Bronx art world made huge news last week when it was announced by the Bronx Museum of the Arts that it had raised $1 million to expand its art collection. In a typical year, the museum only has anywhere between $10,000 and $50,000 to purchase art, however, as prices in the art world rise, this severely limited the ability of the museum to make any purchases.

This is truly wonderful news for our borough!
