A new art exhibit is celebrating Harlem's history and influence on culture. A variety of visions and styles come together at"Fire & Soul 2022: We're Still Harlem", inspiring art lovers to overcome.
"We often talk about some of the troubles and difficulty," said Saundra Heath, the Heath Gallery's director and co-curator for the exhibit."We don't often talk about how we get through it, so this is what this exhibition is intended to do." Ten artists were selected to display their work at the Heath Gallery and online, as part of ArtCrawl Harlem. The curators received an Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone grant to make the exhibit possible."You have to find that sense of center within yourself," Murray said,"and you have to continually reach for the beautiful things in life to get through the muck."This particular day I was drowning," LeBlanc said of the image."And I guess he captured that energy.
The"Fire & Soul 2022: We're Still Harlem" exhibit is open through April 2 at the Heath Gallery, located on West 120th Street across from Marcus Garvey Park. The art is also on sale online through the end of April.
