Hip-Hop super-producer Swizz Beatz took some time out of his busy schedule to take us on a tour of The Bronx and show us around some of his old haunts ahead of his No Commission Art Fair in The Bronx.
SWIZZ BEATZ TOUR OF THE BRONX
The Bronx Hall of Fame resident was also joined by fellow multi-faceted hip-hop artist and New-Yorker A$AP Rocky, riding BMX’s together through the streets of New York and visiting several iconic locations including 1520 Sedgwick Ave, the birthplace of hip-hop.
Due to the success of the debut No Commission art fair collaboration with the BACARDI Untameable House Party series in December at Art Basel Miami, Swizz decided that he wanted to bring it back to where he started his life, The Bronx. No Commission: Art Performs is a multi-day immersive event where art and music collide for showcases by day and night. Featuring musical performances, visual art galleries and immersive installations in the Bronx, No Commission: Art Performs celebrates the artist hustle, where it all began.
The No Commission art fair in the Bronx is a unique event that showcases the works of artists from around the world and offers an immersive experience for visitors. This innovative art fair was founded by music artist Swizz Beatz and art collector and entrepreneur Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, and it has quickly become one of the most exciting events in the art world.
The No Commission art fair is held in a custom-built structure located at 81 Lincoln Avenue in the Bronx. This unique space was designed to provide a perfect setting for the art on display, with high ceilings, natural light, and plenty of room for visitors to explore. The fair features a wide range of art forms, including painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media.
One of the most exciting aspects of the No Commission art fair is that all of the works on display are available for purchase without any commission fees. This means that visitors can purchase art directly from the artists, supporting their work and helping them to gain exposure in the art world. This is a rare opportunity for visitors to connect with artists, learn about their work, and potentially add some amazing art to their collections.
In addition to the art on display, the No Commission art fair offers a range of other activities and experiences for visitors. There are workshops and talks with artists, providing insights into their creative process and inspiration. There are also live music performances, adding to the festive atmosphere and making the fair a great place to relax and enjoy the creativity on display.
The No Commission art fair is a must-visit for anyone interested in contemporary art and the creative process. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with artists, learn about their work, and potentially add some amazing pieces to your art collection. With its innovative approach to showcasing art and its vibrant atmosphere, the No Commission art fair is sure to leave a lasting impression on visitors.
No Commission: Art Performs will be held at a waterfront warehouse in the South Bronx, the birthplace of Swizz Beatz and the genesis of global contemporary art forms Hip Hop and Graffiti.
BACARDÍ and The Dean Collection are investing in, celebrating and giving back to this community that remains integral to New York’s cultural heritage and hustle.
