Produced by the West Harlem Arts Alliance, this Art on the Ave exhibition is located in the old Hamilton Place corridor along Montefiore Square, and displays the works of 50 artists in two rotations over the course of three months. My work is on display from August 15th to October 1st. The exhibition continues until November 15th. The show features artists who have an affinity with West Harlem, especially through works that express, in literal or symbolic ways, the West Harlem community values of inclusivity & diversity, social equity & justice, community concern & activism, environmental health & nature conservancy, empathy and compassion. Curated by Ruthy Valdez.

On View: AUGUST 15 – OCTOBER 1, 2024

The exhibition is purposefully installed in empty storefronts located at the address provided (corner of 137th and Broadway) to revitalize the neighborhood and activate the space with art and music.
