Registration for BRAC's Winter 2026 session of art classes begins on December 6th. Sign up for youth, teen, and adult classes in drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and more.

For those shopping and dining on Arthur Avenue this festive season, or those looking to round out their trip to the Bronx Zoo’s Holiday Lights or New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show®, the caroling group The Jolly Holidays will be in the neighborhood performing classic Christmas tunes on Fridays through Sundays in December.

Living Matter occupies the space between transformation and stillness, where materials like ceramic, mycelium, fiber, light, metal, paper, and glass are both held and in flux. The artists in this show channel the life force within these materials, evoking a sensitivity to their texture, energy, and potential to grow and change.

Only open to Service Members, Veterans, and their families with proper credentials. Each child in attendance will only receive one toy.

You’re invited to the 5th Annual CB6 Holiday Party & Toy Giveaway! Come for the music, food, toys, dancing, holiday cheer, and a chance to meet your neighbors — let’s celebrate the season together! ❤️
