Bronxville Pop-Up Art Show Scheduled for Sept. 13-14

The following announcement is from Cara Garcia­Bou, Pop Up Art Show Director:

Bronxville, NY. ­­­- On September 13–14, 2014, a Pop­Up Art Show will transform an empty Bronxville storefront, 66 Pondfield Road, into a pop­up art gallery with a free and open reception on Saturday, September 13 from 5–9 p.m. The Pop­Up Art Show will showcase the work of nearly 25 New York based emerging artists, representing photography, painting, drawing, mixed­media and sculpture, exploring individual themes and concepts.

The Pop­Up Art Show provides a unique opportunity for emerging artists to publicly exhibit their work while simultaneously bringing life and vibrancy to an underutilized space. The artist exhibition positively impacts the town by bringing new visitors to the area and stimulating local businesses. Pop­Up Art Show is a free and open community event. The storefront space is generously donated by Admiral Real Estate Services Corp.

“Consistent with our Rodin in Bronxville event of last year, the Chamber once again celebrates the interplay of art and community. This art show is another good example of how an art exhibition, businesses, and residents can benefit from one another­­beyond the aesthetics”­­Susan Miele, Executive Director, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce Pop­Up Art Show is the second Pop­Up Art Show organized event held in Bronxville, NY, with the first held in the summer of 2012. Pop­Up Art Show is a not for profit community event, organized and curated by Cara Garcia­Bou, Bronxville native and Ethical Cultural Fieldston School (2009) and Bates College (2013) alum. Cara is currently the Advertising and Marketing Associate at The Metropolitan
