Beginning in summer 2026, The Bronx Museum is expanding beyond our walls and into our surrounding neighborhood through the Meet Me At The Park series!
For this iteration of Meet Me At The Park, artist Jill Cohen-Nuñez is collaborating with participants in the Museum’s Teen Summer 2026 program (a paid arts internship for NYC high school students) to lead a free wood-carving workshop for all ages in Joyce Kilmer Park—located just one block south of the Museum on Grand Concourse.
Participants in the workshop, titled Objects of Importance, will be introduced to the basics of hand-carving softwood. All are welcome to join in and learn about wood identification and safe wood carving techniques! Please Note: sharp tools will be used, and an adult should accompany young children.
The Objects of Importance workshop is inspired by Cohen-Nuñez’s artistic practice that connects the physical landscape and the spiritual realm. The artist completed the Museum’s prestigious AIM Fellowship (a career accelerator program for the most talented ascendant artists based in NYC) in 2025 and is currently exhibiting the piece untitled (ojos) in our North Wing gallery as part of exhibition.
