Hearts BxArts Valentine’s Day Market: A Celebration of Bronx Creativity & Community

This past Saturday, February 03, love was in the air at the Hearts BxArts V-Day Market! 💓✨ Hosted by BxArts Factory, this vibrant marketplace brought together Bronx-based businesses, local artists, and community members for a day of shopping, creativity, and fun—and From The Bronx and The Bronx Beer Hall were proud to sponsor the event!

A grassroots nonprofit dedicated to making art accessible in the Bronx, BxArts Factory uses creativity to address social and economic inequities. Through dynamic arts programming, exhibitions, and collaborations with local artists and organizations, they foster community connections, cultural education, and artistic expression across the borough—making events like this possible.

From one-of-a-kind, handmade gifts to live engravings, drawings, and free gift wrapping, there was something for everyone—whether you were shopping for a Valentine’s gift, treating yourself, or just enjoying the festive vibes. Attendees also got a taste of special Valentine’s cocktails, Japanese vending machines featuring gashapon toys, and of course, ice-cold beer from The Bronx Beer Hall. 🍻

Adding to the fun, the event featured free community activities, including a Vision Board Station for guests to manifest their 2025 goals and a Photo Zone to capture the moment with friends, family, or new connections.

With an incredible turnout and an electric atmosphere, the Hearts BxArts Market was a true celebration of Bronx creativity, small businesses, and the power of community. A huge thank you to BxArts Factory for putting together such a fantastic event—we can’t wait to do it again next year!
