Hello everyone,
Seven years and six studio tours later we have decided, with heavy
hearts, to dissolve artHARLEM and the production of the Harlem Open
Artist Studio Tour(HOAST). As some of you already know from our hiatus
in 2010, health emergencies surrounding our families have affected the
time needed to produce artHARLEM gatherings and exhibitions. We are, and
have always been, a volunteer arts organization and so, the demands on
our schedule these past two years have greatly hampered our ability to
connect with the artists, galleries and fellow arts organizations that
we have come to know as artists and curators who also live and work in
the Harlem neighborhood.
Now that we all know each other, attend our gallery openings and visit
our respective studios, we look forward to a continued connection with
you as the colleagues, neighbors and friends we have become.
We feel blessed to have worked and collaborated with so many incredible
and inspiring people. Be well and we hope to carry on with the
conversations we began and the friendships that blossomed during the
many gallery openings, studio visits and artHARLEM Artist Get Togethers
we attended across this vibrant and diverse footprint.
All the best,
Gina Fuentes Walker
