Veiled Radiance: A Dual Exhibition of Paintings by Alison Cuomo and David Alon Friedman

We are pleased to announce a fine art exhibition Veiled Radiance: A Dual Exhibition, a collection of paintings by Alison Cuomo and David Alon Friedman.

David and Alison’s work reflects a shared interest in tapping into a realm that transcends the boundaries of any individual artist or person and connects with something larger than us. Through their evocative paintings, they extend an invitation to the viewer to immerse themselves in that larger realm.

We invite you to join us for the opening reception on Sunday, May 5, 2024 from 2:00PM to 5:00 PM at Buunni Coffee Inwwod. The show will be on display from May 2 through June 15, 2024.

Buunni Coffee is located at 4961 Broadway in Inwood between W 207th Street and Isham Street NYC. The hours are: Monday-Sat 8:00AM – 5:00PM, Sunday 9:00AM – 5:00PM. We look forward to seeing you there!

Rising in the Heights: Music & Storytelling with Leadlights Ensemble & Randy Mason

Hip hop artist Randy Mason and keyboardist Jamell Ogbanna join Leadlights Ensemble for an afternoon of hip hop, rhyme, and string music. Little ones will enjoy a rhythmically interactive story featuring Brian Pinkney “Max Found Two Sticks,” with musical accompaniment by Leadlights.

Free copies of the book will be available, and gifts and giveaways from local business will be raffled.  

Rising in the Heights” is a festival of outdoor arts performances curated by Leadlights in partnership with Word Up Community Bookshop. The festival celebrates the rich artistic contributions of Black and Latinx cultures and promotes children’s literacy through music and storytelling. 

This project is made possible in part with funds from UMEZ Arts Engagement, supported by the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ); and Creative Engagement, supported by The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) in partnership with the City Council and the Howard Gilman Foundation. UMEZ Arts Engagement and Creative Engagement are administered by LMCC.

Hispanic Society: Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society

The Hispanic Society Museum & Library inaugurates Arte en el Alto Manhattan with Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society featuring three Dominican-born co-curators exhibiting works created in artistic dialog with HSM&L’s collection based on their individual aesthetic approaches as well as their unique perspective as Dominican immigrants in New York. The works showcased express the complicated transnational and intercultural identity, which these artists share with over 2 million Dominican-Americans in the United States, approximately half of whom reside in the NYC Metropolitan area, particularly in the museum’s home neighborhood of Washington Heights.
