Featuring works by eight established, midcareer artists for whom the people and culture of El Barrio/East Harlem have served as significant inspiration. Each of these artists has found a unique mode of expression that has been inspired by the East Harlem experience and in turn has enriched the life of the community-on its building and subway station walls, in its gardens and storefront studios, in its museum collections and galleries-at the same time as it has resonated across the globe.


Artists include:

John Ahearn 

Diógenes Ballester

Rodriguez Calero

Marcos Dimas

Lina Puerta

Fernando Salicrup

NitzaTufiño

Manny Vega
