Harlem Sculpture Gardens

Janes Walk

Led By Savona Bailey-McClain, Executive Director & Chief Curator, West Harlem Art Fund

The 3rd rendition of Harlem Sculpture Gardens (https://harlemsculpturegardens.com) presented by West Harlem Art Fund and NY Artist Equity Association will feature more women artists and academic teams this year. Joining the lineup is Natalie Colette Wood, a seasoned artist who uses recycled materials that she turns into botanical forms. Harlem-based artist Dianne Smith will bring a stately work that takes us back to the 1970s with her Afro Puff. Brooklyn-based artist Michael Poast will return again with five works along Broadway in partnership with the Broadway Mall Association. There will be two teams from the City College School of Architecture led by Elizabeth MacWillie and Zihao Zhang. Chris Sancomb from the University of Connecticut brings portable wind mills that explore our need to look at resilience.
