I am excited to curate this online series of exhibitions for the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NOMAA). This exhibition features 40 artists from uptown.

Healing and Community: Physical to Virtual
curated by Patricia Miranda

Reflection: Art of introspection and meditation
Submission Deadline: April 22, 2020

Artists of all disciplines can apply to one or all three galleries over three deadlines.

The Galleries:

1. Community: Art as action
2. Connection: Art that links the self to others
3. Reflection: Art of introspection and meditation

Art weaves threads of connection across otherwise robust boundaries.
These connections translate into actions that ripple out into the world as culture, through art that reflects, critiques, and celebrates the complicated world we live in. 

In a time of social distancing, art brings us together. We sing across balconies, dance across computer screens, paint and post pictures of the mundane and the extraordinary, the tragic and the comedic. Art connects us when we cannot physically be together, and reminds us of the bonds that make us a community.

Open to artists working or residing in El Barrio, Harlem, Washington Heights or Inwood. Above 110th Street on the West Side (west of 5th Ave) and above 96th Street on the East Side (east of 5th Ave).
