Since 1981, The Bronx Museum of the Arts has supported New York’s artist community through the AIM Fellowship, the museum’s flagship artist development program offering career management resources to guide emerging artists through the often opaque professional practices of the art world. 

Mentored by a distinguished faculty of industry experts, AIM Fellows engage in a four-month long series of intensive 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.

Applications for the 41st cycle of AIM taking place in 2021 will open in summer 2020. Check back in July 2020 for more information.

The Block Gallery is the Bronx Museum's artist training facility devoted to supporting the ongoing creative and professional advancement of AIM program artists. Named in memory of late Bronx Museum executive director, Holly Block, the multipurpose venue offers work space, exhibition facilities, and meeting rooms to aid the development of forward-thinking artistic practices.
