ABOUT
Since 2008, ArtCrawl Harlem, Inc. a 501(c) (3) has been dedicated to creating and sharing experiences that explore the vast Harlem legacy through the arts, supporting the work and talent of emerging creatives. In 2012 ArtCrawl Harlem commenced curating original art exhibits featuring the works of New York tri-state artists in multiple genres.
As Harlem’s first trolley car guided art tour ArtCrawl Harlem™ is a unique way to introduce the public to the community of Harlem, and all it has to offer. Tour participants from the wider metropolitan area, and beyond, learn how they can engage in the community in a fun filled afternoon. The experience provides general tourists with an entry point to return to Harlem independently and support area businesses. Community members participating in tours become more familiar with the creative educational resources available in their own backyards.
