It's supposed to be a rainy weekend, perfect for a museum visit...here are some suggestions:
Friday @ The Studio Museum Harlem
144 West 125th Street
New York, New York 10027
Uptown Fridays: “Afro-Latin Style” with Geko Jones & Ethegy
"Dance to the worldly beats of Global Ghetto Technician, Geko Jones, along with a warm-up by up Eclectic Technician Ethegy. Experience this high-energy party flow into paint as visual artists create Afro-Latin inspired work live to the beats! Don’t miss this fun and festive evening of culture in Harlem!"
$10 admission for all before 8 PM
After 8 pm - $15 general admission/ $10 Members, seniors, students
Saturday @ The Museum of the City of New York
1220 Fifth Avenue at 103rd St.
New York, NY 10029
Mannahatta/Manhattan
I haven't been to this exhibit yet, but my friend Elizabeth Griffin wrote a great article on the Mannahatta Project for The Daily Green.
Tell them you're an East Harlem resident (if you are one, of course) and you get into the museum for free.
Sunday @ The Studio Museum Harlem
144 West 125th Street
New York, New York 10027
Target Free Sundays
They have a few great exhibits there right now; I definitely want to check out Expanding the Walls: Making Connections between Photography, History and Community.
