The BMHC Artist-in-Residence program was created in honor of the rich musical legacy of the Bronx. The program aims to support and promote the work of inspired Bronx musicians and artists, and to engage the community in that work.

The Rebel Diaz Arts Collective (RDACBX) is the current Artist-In-Residence at the BMHC Lab, and will provide music and arts programming through August 2013. Learn more!
