The Harlem Fine Arts Show is gearing up to celebrate its 15th anniversary of providing a space for artists of African, Caribbean and Black descent to showcase their African Diaspora-inspired artworks.
The traveling art show will return in person for the first time, on Friday, Feb. 24, since the COVID-19 pandemic. The show’s 15th-year celebration marks a major change of location—it will be at the Glasshouse venue in nearby Chelsea, NYC, not at its previous location at Riverside Church in Morningside Heights.
According to the ÌMỌ̀ DÁRA 2022 State of the African Art Market report, physical galleries remain around 45% of the way that most collectors purchase their art. On a global scale, the Art Market 2022 report shows that 69% of people preferred live or in-person viewing at a gallery or fair most when viewing and considering art for sale. Both reports indicate that people are motivated to buy art when they experience it in person.
Taylor credits Harlem with being the trendsetter for nightlife, music, fashion and dance. He is also thrilled to be celebrating 15 years as a professional artist, coinciding with the Harlem Fine Arts show’s 15th-year celebration. “This is historic not just for me, but for the Harlem Fine Arts show with me being a part of it.”
“We are still trying to get them out of the British Museums and back to where they belong,” said Dubois. “It’s a long, hard road, so that was my inspiration for my images.” She added human characteristics, including eyes, to her Benin-inspired creations to humanize Africans. “I gave them eyes to give them more humanity because they were obviously modeled after someone, so that’s like a tribute to them.
