NADA New York announces the launch of a new acquisition fund for the Bronx Museum of the Arts
In partnership with the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the New Art Dealers Alliance announced the launch of the initiative “NADA Acquisition Gift for BxMA”, in which curators will be called to select artworks shown at the fair to be added to the museum’s permanent collection. The first work will be chosen at NADA’s upcoming edition in New York, opening on March 8.
The news comes following the announcement last year that NADA’s other iteration in Miami would partner with Pérez Art Museum Miami for an acquisition fund. The partnership led to the acquisition of a work by the Puerto Rican artist Chemi Rosado-Seijo from the booth of the San Juan gallery Embajada. More via ARTnews.

Naomi Parker Fraley, the woman who was identified as the real-life inspiration behind the famous Rosie the Riveter “We Can Do It” poster, has passed away at the age of 96.
Fraley’s identity was revealed in 2016 when communications professor James J. Kimble tracked down a photograph of Fraley, donning a polka-dotted bandana in a Navy mechanics shop during the Second World War in Alameda, California.
