The Bronx Culture Trolley, a replica of a 20th-century trolley, transports visitors to Bronx venues of arts and culture on the first Wednesday of every month for free.

On Aug. 1, the evening begins at Longwood Art Gallery at Hostos Community College, 450 Grand Concourse at 149th Street at 5 p.m. to view BXI: The Second Bronx Artists Biennial. Also, Longwood will host From Image to the Word, a creative writing students’ reading, a screening of Cuban Roots/Bronx Stories by 2007 BRIO winner Pam Sporn and an origami demonstration by Artisans Initiative Program Director Lisa Curran at Longwood’s Artisans Boutique.

With a clang of its bell, the trolley is off to its three destinations, leaving at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Adventures follow at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, followed by 52 Park’s El Teatro Miranda Amphitheater, on Kelly Street between Leggett and Avenue St. John, for free Latin jazz amidst the lightning bugs. But beware, the trolley will only drop off at the Amphitheater, so the way back might truly be an adventure (or a short walk to public transportation). Next up is a film screening at Spanic Attack’s Bronx Salon at Alexander Ave. between 138th and 139th streets, and the final stop is at J. Maxson’s Bar and Grill at 2576 Third Ave. at 139th Street for a jazz performance by La Currita and music of Willie Hernandez.
