First, we welcome Raidirys "Ra" Rivas Mccray, founder of The Bronx Vegan Bazaar, to discuss the highly anticipated return of the event. Next, actress and talent manager Susan Rybin joins us to break down the "ins and outs" of the industry for aspiring young performers. Then, photographers Emily Sujay Sanchez and Lex Kim stop by to highlight their new exhibition at the Bronx Documentary Center. Finally, today’s Open Artist Spotlight shines on Evolution—a storyteller, visual artist, and social worker—who closes the show with a powerful performance of her poem, "Iatrophobia."

OPEN Friday is BronxNet’s weekly arts and entertainment show, showcasing talented artists and performers from the Bronx and the greater New York area. Hosted by Rhina Valentin.
