7:00 PM Wednesday, January 29, 2025

During the Harlem Renaissance of the early 20th century, the Harlem neighborhood in New York City became a Black cultural mecca. It was a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that kindled a new black cultural identity that encouraged a new appreciation of folk roots and culture. ArtScapades looks at three artists who were working in Harlem at the height of it: William H. Johnson, Romaire Bearden and Jacob Lawrence all focused their art on African American culture and daily life in Harlem.
