Harlem Fine Arts Show 2017

Recap: HFAS17 Art Fair at Glasshouse NYC

From February 21 to 23, the Harlem Fine Arts Show (HFAS) brought an incredible fusion of art, culture, and community to the Glasshouse NYC. Over the course of three days, HFAS17 celebrated the multi-faceted African Diaspora by uniting contemporary artists with a growing class of collectors. The event showcased cultural ideas, raised awareness of the extraordinary body of work created by international, national, and local artists, and fostered invaluable connections between creators and art enthusiasts.

I had the honor of showcasing my work in Booth 309 alongside fellow West Harlem artists Sage Gallon and Shanequa Benitez, as well as the New Heritage Theater Group and the Harlem Fine Arts Alliance. It was a privilege to be part of such a dynamic space, surrounded by talented artists whose works spoke to history, identity, and artistic innovation.

With more than 100 artists exhibiting their work, HFAS17 was a vibrant experience filled with fine arts, culinary delights, live music, and an inspiring atmosphere of creativity. The weekend would not have been possible without the generous support of the West Harlem Development Corporation and the West Harlem Arts Alliance. Their commitment to the arts continues to uplift and empower artists and cultural institutions across Harlem.

Thank you to everyone who attended, engaged, and supported this incredible event. HFAS17 was more than just an art fair—it was a celebration of heritage, artistic excellence, and community spirit. Looking forward to the next one!
