BronxNet debuts ArtTime
BY JENNA BAGCAL
Fans of BronxNet programming
will soon be able to delve deeper into
the world of art.
The network announced its collaboration
with BxArts Factory on a new
series called ArtTime, which will let
viewers get instruction and insight
into the works of local artists. According
to BronxNet, ArtTime will let audiences
“learn, participate or just enjoy
the intrigue.”
“We provide multimedia platforms
for Bronx artists and creatives via
BronxNet TV. Bronx Arts Factory artists
are making it possible for Bronxites
and people around the world to be
nourished and inspired through Art-
Time interactive arts programming
on BronxNet,” said BronxNet Executive
Director Michael Max Knobbe.
In the series’ fi rst episode, artist
and host Sajata-E will teach viewers
to make a handmade loom that
they can use to knit scarves and
other woven items.
Audiences can catch ArtNet on
BronxNet channels, 67 on Optimum
and 2133 for Fios and also at www.
bronxnet.tv on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 2
p.m. Subsequent episodes will broadcast
on Oct. 17 and Nov. 21 at 2 p.m.
and will continue to highlight talented
Bronx artists.
“Through the stillness of the initial
period of lockdown during the pandemic,
we were able to reconnect with

several of our previous ideas around
building out a virtual presence for Bx-
Arts Factory,” said a BxArts Factory
spokesperson. “Now, with the help of
BronxNet, we’re fi nally ready with
our fi rst round of content. This initial
series centers on creating a visual
archive of Bronx artists and features
small glimpses of their work through
interactive projects that the public can
do at home. We are very proud of this
series, and it is only a start for this
great partnership between BronxNet
and BxArts Factory.”
