West Harlem Art Fund

West Harlem Art Fund is a public arts organization in Northern Manhattan that organizes exhibitions and installations in community spaces. The projects range from fiber art shows and artist residencies to experimental jazz performances.

The organization was founded in 1998 and launched its first major installation called "Three Men Walking" in 2003. This marked the start of many public art projects that followed.

The organization supports artistic expression from local creators and displays their work in public spaces where residents encounter it daily. These exhibitions reflect the creative energy that drives the community.

Visitors can participate in art shows, workshops, and music events throughout the year at locations across the neighborhood. It helps to check ahead to find out which projects are currently running and where they are located.

The "Take Me to the River" project secured funding for improvements to the Hudson River waterfront from 2005 to 2008. This initiative transformed the water's edge into a more welcoming place for community members.
