Welcome
Dear friends, NoMAA is pleased to announce the Uptown Arts Stroll 2009 — the most anticipated annual visual and performing community arts festival in Washington Heights and Inwood. This month-long celebration of arts and culture being held in June will also promote the business scene and natural beauty of this diverse neighborhood of Northern Manhattan.
During last year’s Uptown Arts Stroll, we honored remarkable local artists including world-renowned painter, muralist, and long-time resident of Washington Heights, Knox Martin, and celebrated the success of In the Heights, a Broadway musical that received four Tony Awards including Best Musical of 2008, created by Inwood-native Lin-Manuel Miranda.
This year we will recognize local pianist and vocalist Marjorie Eliot, host of Parlor Jazz, and saxophonist and composer Miguel Zenón, a 2008 recipient of the MacArthur Genius Award. The Uptown Arts Stroll 2009 will showcase the outstanding painters, musicians, and other performing artists, many of them NoMAA grantees, who are contributing to the cultural life of Northern Manhattan. These artists will exhibit and perform in local restaurants, businesses, open spaces, parks and other venues.
Come to the Heights! Join us in June and be part of this exciting uptown tradition, a unique display of creativity by our vibrant community north of 155th Street. For more information about the Uptown Arts Stroll 2009 please visit artstroll.com, nomaanyc.org and manhattantimesnews.com.
We look forward to seeing you at the Uptown Arts Stroll 2009!
