Community partners BronxArtsSpace, Casita Maria, & Inspiration Point 

join together to present the 1st Hunts Point/Longwood Biennial 

April 17 - 19, 2026

​

The Bronx- March 2026 This April, BronxArtsSpace, Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education and Inspiration Point proudly present our first-ever Hunts Point/Longwood Biennial, a landmark cultural event taking place April 17–19. This initiative brings together a vibrant network of Bronx arts organizations, artists, curators, and community spaces in a shared celebration of creativity focused on storytelling across disciplines. Additional partners include: Boone Avenue Walls, En Foco, WALLWORKS, and WORTHLESSSTUDIOS. 

​

Marking a significant moment in the Hunts Point/Longwood section of the South Bronx, the Biennial establishes a new platform dedicated to uplifting diverse artistic voices and fostering cross-institutional collaboration. By partnering with fellow Bronx-based organizations, the Biennial expands into three venues with eight partners featuring visual artists such as Ebony Bolt, Ricky Flores, and David Gonzalez plus Latin Jazz ensemble Bronx Banda featuring Arturo O’Farrill. This multi-site experience reflects the borough’s rich cultural history and present day arts ecosystem. Together, the featured artists explore themes of identity, memory, community, and transformation, offering audiences meaningful and immersive experiences with contemporary art.

​

Across all three partner sites, BronxArtSpace, Casita Maria, and Inspiration Point attendees can experience exhibitions, live performances, open studios, workshops, and special activations. See full schedule below. This collaborative format encourages audiences to move between spaces and cross the Bruckner Expressway, along a dividing line between neighborhoods. 

​

This is more than an event, it is the beginning of a new tradition. The Hunts Point/Longwood Biennial signals a bold commitment to collaboration, community, and the future of the arts in the Bronx.
