BxArts Factory, the borough’s first incubator for the Arts, will officially launch on Thursday, February 12th at The Bronx Museum of the Arts.  The free event will be held from 6pm – 8pm and, “…will be filled with artists performing and creating art live for the audience to enjoy their craft,” says Yolanda Rodriguez Co-Founder of the organization in a press release sent to us last night.

With a mission to bring forth more artists using their art to promote and create social change in The Bronx, the newly formed non-profit will be providing much need space and resources to underserved minorities in various disciplines in the Arts.
