If you have not yet visited the Dwyer Cultural Center <\/a>at 258 St. Nicholas Avenue, you are missing a treat.\u00a0 I had walked past this new addition to Harlem several times since its opening last June, but I had not gone in\u00a0until yesterday.\u00a0 I spent a fascinating hour with the exhibits in this very appealing space dedicated to “preserving, celebrating and documenting Harlem’s history and traditions through exhibitions, performances, workshops and public programs…”.\u00a0 The Center’s programming is done by Community Works<\/a> and the current exhibit includes some amazing pieces by\u00a0public school children\u00a0as well as an absorbing pictorial history of Harlem\u2019s contributions to music, both part of the award-winning “Harlem is…” <\/a>series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to its public programming, the Center provides reasonably priced, multi-media\u00a0rehearsal, exhibition and\u00a0performance space\u00a0to local artists.\u00a0 While I was there I picked up a flyer for their \u201cSaturdays@the Dwyer<\/a>\u201d series for an event this coming Saturday that includes a performance by IMPACT Repertory Theater<\/a> (a Harlem-based youth group), a visual arts workshop with Harlem resident and artist Vicki Freemont, and a documentary profiling the life of Percy Sutton<\/a>, the recently deceased Harlem entrepreneur and political leader.\u00a0 It starts at 2 pm and admission is free.\u00a0 Go check it out!<\/p>\n
