We headed out to the New York Times building in midtown Manhattan Friday to attend the preview reception for the Harlem Fine Arts Show 2011. The evening was a fabulous event, co-sponsored by Grey Goose, Amtrak and the Fiduciary Management Group. I got an invite via my girl Dr. Olive – who is on the mailing list for Black Ivy Events Inc.
Along with a number of outstanding African American artists, celebs in the house included former Essence Editor In Chief, Susan Taylor, and television news journalists Vicki Mabry and DeMarco Morgan. I had the pleasure of meeting Dion Clarke, publisher of Diversity Prep – A Teen Lifestyle Publication, and the brains/brawn behind this event.

A great dinner with live jazz at B. Smith’s restaurant completed the evening.

Thanks for sharing Ann. NY1 mentioned this exhibit yesterday morning.
It’s a great show. Years ago, the Black Fine Arts Show took place at the Puck Building in lower Manhattan. Nice to see the show, albeit a smaller version, going uptown to Harlem.
