Harlem Artists Salon
In 1999, I founded, in my garden-level West 132nd Street apartment, The Harlem Artists Salon. Self-curated, hosted and financed, the gatherings provided a forum for emerging and established artists and scholars to showcase their interests and talent in a supportive salon-like environment.
