Pepatián’s Bronx Artists Now: Showcase and Conversation, initiated in 2010 and produced by Jane Gabriels, Ph.D., is a network of South Bronx arts and community organizations who pool resources to create unique opportunities for other presenters and funders to enjoy the latest works by Afro-Caribbean-Latinx artists who make work in the Bronx.
