‘No Longer Bored Family Day: Building Our Future’

It seems fitting that an event called “No Longer Bored” would be presented by an organization called No Longer Empty. That group, an arts nonprofit, is dedicated to using art to repurpose and revitalize underused spaces. Its site this time is the Old Bronx Courthouse, a Beaux-Arts landmark that has been closed for 37 years. At this free family workshop, presented with the Fine Arts Federation of New York, children (the ideal age is 5 and older) will be invited to explore the contemporary-art exhibition that No Longer Empty has installed in the building through Sunday. Titled “When You Cut Into the Present, the Future Leaks Out,”  the show reflects on the landmark’s significance over time. Children will be encouraged to do the same through activities like scavenger hunts, storytelling, block play and art projects that imagine new roles for the courthouse.
