The spirit of Harlem is Resounding, Magnetic, and Eternal.
Spirit of Community features specially commissioned works in photography, mural, sculpture, and video chronicling the sights, sounds, colors, textures, cadences, and people of Harlem. Contemporary artists, living and working in Harlem, lend their imagination and innovation to capture the pulse and rhythm that have kept Harlem vibrant and thriving. Their work honors the memories and experiences of Harlem’s residents, celebrates a neighborhood’s storied past and promising future, and reveals the architecture of a place that continues to transcend, evolve, and reinvent itself.

Showcasing a variety of items such as art, guitar straps, skateboard decks, jewelry and furniture, Grandpa’s Attic transports patrons back to a time when they may have discovered a place of wonder, awe, fantasy and imagination; akin to an intriguing, long-lost memory of a child hiding out in grandpa’s mysterious, magic-filled attic.
