What keeps you grounded? That question is at the heart of “Internal Anchor,” a new exhibition curated by Fable Jones and featuring the work of 18 artists at the Bronx River Art Center. The exhibition explores the rituals, passions and experiences that help people find meaning, balance and connection while navigating the chaos and instability of everyday life.
The public is invited to the opening reception on Thursday, September 10, from 6–8 p.m. But the exhibition is more than a gallery show. Throughout its run, Bronx River Art Center will host a series of community events and workshops focused on creativity, peace, joy and connection.
