The Art Escape

The South Bronx runs on creative pulse — and The Art Escape adds one more beat. Nestled beside Gerard Avenue’s convenience stores and local eateries, this art studio refreshes the corner with open sessions and hands-on events; checkered sidewalks leading to 861 Gerard Ave., Bronx, NY 10451.

Weekend workshops dip into screen-printing, floral design, portrait drawing, collage making, calligraphy basics, and quick-sketch nights — all taught by both Latino and women artists. Stop by to chart your next project, then dial (917) 650-2269 for the next class lineup. Want step-by-step directions?
