MUNICIPAL ART SOCIETY OF NEW YORK
East Harlem Tour
WITH ZACK RHODES

Saturday, October 8 | 11:00 AM
Member:
$20
Non-member: $30

El Barrio, Spanish Harlem, East Harlem, Italian Harlem. There are many names used to describe the neighborhood taking up space from 96th Street to 125th Street on Manhattan’s eastern side. This tour will ‘begin’ in the late 19th century when an influx of Sicilian, Jewish, and German immigrants moved to the area. We’ll see sites famous for their history as Manhattan’s first Little Italy and sites known for their relationship to the Genovese crime family. Then, we’ll walk south to visit and view sites significant to the Spanish-speaking community and other recent immigrant groups. Along the way we will stop to admire many of the beautiful and unique murals that dot the neighborhood.

MAS in-person tours take place outdoors, therefore masks are not required. If you prefer to wear a mask, though, we want you to feel comfortable doing so.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION:
SELECTIONS FROM AUSTRALIA'S WESTERN DESERT

FROM THE COLLECTION OF STEVE MARTIN & ANNE STRINGFIELD
On View September 12 - October 27

The National Arts Club is honored to host this dynamic exhibition of contemporary Indigenous Australian painting from the remote regions of Central and Western Australia. The six large works that make up this exhibition all spring from thousands of years of tradition, disconnected and uninfluenced from the outside world. Distinct from outsider art and not defined by chance affinities with western contemporary abstract art, these paintings stand as stories and narratives infused with an intense connection to the local landscape. On view will be significant works by Bill Whiskey Tjapaltjarri, Timo Hogan, Carlene West, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, and Doreen Reid Nakamarra.
