The 3rd Annual Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour is scheduled for Saturday, October 6, and Sunday October 7, 2007. Open studio events have become a staple of any artistic community, allowing hundreds of neighborhood residents and visitors to see where and how contemporary works of art are conceived. Art lovers have a chance to meet the artist in a relaxed atmosphere and learn about the creative process directly from its source. By bringing visitors directly into artists’ studios, our goal is to create an awareness of the culture of modern Harlem.

In an effort to show as many works by Harlem artists as possible, in addition to studios, we have recruited venues, such as the Museum of National Catholic Art, to showcase artists who are not able to show in their studios. We want our event to unite the communities of East Harlem and Central Harlem by working closely with Association of Hispanic Artists.

ARTIST PARTICIPATION: The 3rd Annual Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour open to all visual and preformance artists in Harlem. HOAST was created to unite and promote the artists of Harlem through an annual open studio tour. For two days, art lovers will have a chance to visit the working spaces of contemporary artists, gain an intimate understanding of the creative process, talk to the artist in a relaxed atmosphere, and perhaps buy art. You must be a resident of Harlem, or have a studio in Harlem in order to participate. All media and styles are welcome. Participation is on a first-come basis. Artist participation fee is thirty dollars ($30.00).
