THE BRONX Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse, at 165th Street, presents its 29th annual Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) exhibition, now on display through Sunday, Sept. 13. The showcase features a wide range of works, including photography, video, collage, sculpture, paintings, multimedia and more, made by a group of 36 emerging artists from New York City. This year’s show, titled “Living and Dreaming,” reveals a powerful depiction of the current era, by presenting personal narratives on various contemporary themes — from cultural collisions to political changes to the unstable economy — while also immersing viewers in realms that conjure the fantastical, the ethereal and the mythological. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call 718-681-6000 or go to www.bronxmuseum.org.
