In a time of great changes in the Bronx and all over the city, when artists are referred to as “shock troops” for gentrification, and some artists are questioning the validity of having to provide “socially engaged” art to communities to be considered for public grants, John Ahearn’s career serves as a model of how art and community can co-exist and each be elevated.

I remember my first college Documentary Art class; once the teacher said “drawing on site” I was terrified, but became hooked soon after learning the beauty of capturing people and places on the spot. Since then, I’ve been invited to several events to draw people, including Fashion Forward at The Metropolitan here in New York City. My love for drawing people became so strong, I took it upon myself to go out into the world to see what was out there, and began to take my sketchbook everywhere.
