Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) is pleased to announce the Uptown Arts Stroll 2010 — the most anticipated annual 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 these diverse neighborhoods of Northern Manhattan.
Artists, businesses and organizations: find out how you can participate.
During last year’s Stroll, we honored remarkable local artists including pianist and vocalist Marjorie Eliot, host of Parlor Entertainment’s weekly jazz concerts, and saxophonist and composer Miguel Zenón, a 2008 recipient of the MacArthur Genius Award. In 2010, we are proud to recognize three artists/community leaders for their contributions to the arts and their efforts to bring excellent programming uptown: Patricia Eakins, fiction writer and curator of the Sundays Best Reading Series; Ted Minos, founder and producing artistic director of Moose Hall Theatre and Inwood Shakespeare Festival; and Ana-Ofelia Rodríguez, writer, founder and director of The Rio Galleries.
The Uptown Arts Stroll 2010 will showcase the outstanding painters, writers, 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 restaurants, businesses, open spaces, parks and other local 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. We look forward to seeing you at the Uptown Arts Stroll 2010!
