An online tour through the history of the Harlem Renaissance prepared by the Artistic Staff of HSA

demonstrates the impact on today’s culture, by the artists who rose to prominence 100 years ago

(Black PR Wire) Harlem, New York – The historic community of Harlem is in the midst of the Centennial Celebration of the Harlem Renaissance, and the Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) through its HSA@Home platform, has tapped into this prolific epoch to create a unique summer experience for young people ages 5 – 18, that captures and brings to life the richness of that transformational movement.

The creative team of HSA directors and teaching artists, have incorporated the story of the Harlem

Renaissance into the organization’s multidisciplinary curriculum, highlighting the important

contributions of African Americans on America’s arts and cultural landscape.

The directors of each department (dance, music, theatre, art, and design), have fused the “rich cross-disciplinary” activities of the Harlem Renaissance, with the excellence of the multidisciplinary training and development that Harlem School of the Arts has become noted for.

HSA is an organization that was founded in response to the plight of Harlem’s social and political unrest of the 1960s, with the idea that enriching the lives of children through the arts would empower them to become creative thinkers and innovative citizens.

New York City’s premier community arts institution, the Harlem School of the Arts at the Herb Alpert

Center stands uniquely apart as the sole provider of arts education in four disciplines: music, dance,

theatre, and art & design, all within our award-winning 37,000 square foot facility.
