CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
The Artist Application is now open!
We are looking for performing and visual artists to present during a 2-day festival in June 2012 in Marcus Garvey Park. Special preference will be given to artists who are based in Harlem or artists whose word contributes to the artistic dialogue of the community. Artists can apply by visiting our website where they will be able to find more on the guidelines, requirements, and application questions.
We look forward to receiving your applications!

RECENT EVENTS
Harlem Arts Festival recently co-hosted Wine Down Wednesdays at Nectar Wine Bar, which raised almost $300 for Park Permit fees! We had a wonderful evening making new friends of the Festival and enjoying Nectar's delicious wines and appetizers. Thanks to photographer David Brown, you can see photos of the event on our Facebook page!
If you couldnt't make it out, don't worry! You can still show your support by making a donation online, and keep an eye out for future events!
Coming Up Next...
We are continuing to build momentum for the festival and are always looking for team members to donate their time and expertise! If you're interested working with us to launch the Festival, please be in touch!
