This spring the West Harlem Art Fund will use technology for a location based walking tour and ask participants to look at Harlem differently. Fresh Eyes is being developed exclusively for FRIEZE WEEK 2015 and the Mt. Morris Historic District will serve as its background.

Curated films clips have been selected by Savona Bailey-McClain, Executive Director & Chief Curator for the West Harlem Art Fund. Different from scavenger hunts that also use a geographic region, to engage participants in neighborhood exploration, this location-based art tour wants participants to explore life issues and how we should embrace the complexities of city life creatively. Two FREE tours will be given Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 1 p.m. on the southeast corner of 125th Street and Lenox Avenue and then again at 2 p.m.

The West Harlem Art Fund (WHAF) is a twenty-five year old, public art and new media organization. Like explorers from the past, who searched for new lands and people, WHAF offers opportunities for artists and creative professionals throughout NYC and beyond wishing to showcase and share their talent. The West Harlem Art Fund presents art and culture in open and public spaces to add aesthetic interest; promote historical and cultural heritage; and support community involvement in local development. Our heritage symbol Afuntummireku-denkyemmtreku: is the double crocodile from West Africa Ghana which means unity in diversity.
