Apollo Uptown Hall: Harlem’s Culture—Past. Present! Future?

Apollo Theater Mainstage

Since the 1920s’ famed Harlem Renaissance, Harlem has epitomized black creativity and culture. But will that remain true as time and gentrification change the neighborhood?

Some of the neighborhood’s leading arts organizations will gather during Apollo Uptown Hall: Harlem’s Culture – Past.  Present!  Future? to celebrate landmark anniversaries and to discuss how they plan to maintain relevance in a changing community. Participating organizations include the African-American Day Parade Committee, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Dr. Barbara Ann Teer’s National Black Theatre, and HARLEM WEEK, Inc.

Free and open to the public, RSVP tickets required and available via ApolloTheater.org or the Apollo Box Office.
