Toast Gail Nathan's Leadership at BRAC

 

Join us on Oct 16 to toast Gail's legacy of service!

For 25 years, Gail Nathan has been the heart and soul of the Bronx River Art Center, serving as its Executive Director. Her tenure has had a profound impact on both BRAC and the Bronx community, guiding the Art Center through trials and triumphs with unwavering dedication. She has worked tirelessly with the Bronx arts community, politicians, and many local organizations; launched new arts programs for teens and young adults; curated art exhibitions ranging from local to international; and championed public art in the Bronx — all while overseeing a robust program of classes in painting, printmaking, pottery, and more.

Under her leadership, BRAC underwent a $15-million capital renovation, rejuvenating the building and transforming the space into a one-of-a-kind artistic gem in the heart of the Bronx.

Drawing from her extensive background as an artist, educator, and arts administrator, Gail faced the challenges of leading BRAC with perseverance and resilience. During the eight-year period when BRAC’s building was under renovation and the organization had to temporarily relocate, Gail’s creativity ensured that BRAC’s programs continued throughout the neighborhood. She partnered with diverse organizations to bring programs to community rooms, parks, performance spaces, political offices, and even an old Italian banquet hall on Arthur Avenue! When COVID-19 emerged, she adapted with remarkable agility, developing virtual and hybrid programs that kept our community connected and engaged.
