Since 1980, The Bronx Museum of the Arts has supported New York’s artist community through AIM, the museum’s flagship artist-training program offering career management resources to guide New York City emerging artists through the often opaque professional practices of the art world. 

Mentored by a distinguished faculty of industry experts, AIM artists engage in an intensive series of seminars and activities that aid artists in building sustainable studio practices while expanding peer and professional networks. Since its founding, AIM has provided pivotal career support to a diverse roster of over 1,200 of New York's most promising artists.

Launched in 2019, The Block Gallery is located in a former textile manufacuturing loft in Lower Manhattan as a dedicated community hub for the Bronx Museum's AIM alumni community. The venue features private workspaces, exhibition facilities, meeting rooms, and career management resources to support artists with creative and professional development throughout their careers. 

A gift from General Hardware Mfg. Co., Inc., "The Block" affords the Bronx Museum a rare opportunity to expand its support of New York City's diverse creative communities with program facilities in the South Bronx and Lower Manhattan.

FRIENDS OF AIM
