Some of the world’s most celebrated African-American artists and the prominent galleries that specialize in Afro-centric works will exhibit their work at the 3rd Annual Harlem Fine Art Show, Feb. 11 and 12, 2012.
Destined to become a highlight of Manhattan’s annual Black History Month celebrations, the event will be held at Harlem’s historic Riverside Church. It will be one of the largest collections of Black art ever assembled, representing more than 100 Black artists and galleries — a potent reminder during Black History Month of the tremendous contribution of Black artists to the global fine arts landscape. This year’s participants include Poncho Brown, Leroy Campbell, Robert Carter, Najee Dorsey, Ray Grist, Woodrow Nash, Michele Wood and E&S Gallery. The event will also feature lectures, seminars and performances.
