its$100 million global capital
campaign – one that’s aptly
titled “Time 2 Build” as construction
for the museum’s
permanent home at Bronx
Point is now a step closer.
“It is a pivotal time now
more than ever that we bring
this museum to life. It is
a cultural timestamp that
will bridge the Hip Hop and
Bronx community with a
permanent place to call home
but we can not do it without
your support. This capital
campaign is a call to action
to ensure we preserve the
culture,” said Rocky Bucano,
the UNHH executive director.
This launch follows the
raising of $23 million and
will be going to support the
museum’s “fi t out” of interior
design.
“The future home of the
Universal Hip Hop Museum
is poised to become the premier
cultural institution
founded to preserve, protect
and present the historic cultural
infl uence of Hip Hop
worldwide,” the museum released
in a statement, adding
that this soft launch “is designed
to engage, excite, and
drive donations from hip hop
lovers locally and globally.”
Ahead of its anticipated
2023 opening, Bronx Borough
President Ruben Diaz,
Jr. shared that “Bronx Point
is a tremendous step forward
for our borough. Inclusion of
the Universal Hip Hop Museum
as part of this project
will help showcase our role
in the creation of that worldwide
cultural movement for
generations to come.”
That message was reiterated
by Michael Blake, former
Bronx assemblyman and
current chair of the UHHM
Capital Campaign.
“The time for Hip Hop to
have its home has come. Now,
it’s Time 2 Build. Our $100
Capital Campaign, which is
