URBAN ART PHOTOGRAPHER RAY TUCKER PRESENTS:
Dreams in Color

Artist Ray Tucker is pleased to present his sophomore solo photography exhibition Dreams in Color.  This show is a collaboration with notable Harlem fashion and culture boutique, THE VAULT.

The vivid colors on display represent open mindedness and creativity, protesting the notion that dreams occur in black and white.  The photos are a combination of colorful abstract urban imagery and still life displayed with a unique metallic finish.  The frames are also artworks which feature original paintings of inspirational and philosophical text offering “interpretations” of each dream.  Ray Tucker is a Harlem based artist and this is his first showing within the neighborhood.  THE VAULT has been a fixture in the community since 2006 and is the perfect venue to display fine art with an urban edge.   Dreams in Color will run for no less than two weeks and all the pieces in the show are one-of-kind and personalized although similar versions may be available upon request.

Something really neat is happening every Sunday in the Laundry Room at 143 West 116th St (between Lenox & ACP Aves).  The Laundromat Project, a community-based non-profit arts organization, sponsors art workshops where local residents can create their own art.  The “drop in” workshops are taught by professional artists on everything from solar printing to sidewalk painting. laundromat project 11 Harlem’s LAUNDROMAT PROJECT: Wash clothes, Make Art, Build CommunityThe Laundromat Project is committed to the idea that “creativity is a central component of healthy human beings, vibrant neighborhoods, and thriving economies”, and so they bring art education to community members in their own neighborhoods - all ages and levels of experience are welcome.   The Art Workshops are scheduled from 12-3pm every Sunday.  Yesterday, Maya Valladares Harlem’s LAUNDROMAT PROJECT: Wash clothes, Make Art, Build Community taught participants how to create original designs and print them on fabrics.  Stop by next Sunday for bookmaking with Shani Peters.  The workshops are held every week through October.  A detailed schedule can be found on their website, along with information about how to volunteer or support the project.
