☞ SEE: ArtCrawl Harlem 2010 This Weekend

The ArtCrawl Harlem™ tours are taking place Saturday, August 7th and Sunday, August 8th and will include:

Casa Frela Gallery
“Einstein, Epherma & Crank,” created by Fearless Explorers in Alternative Surfaces, Glazes and Installations highlights the ceramic installations of four sculptors, Liz Surbeck Biddle, Jackie Welsh, Tomoko Amaki Abe and Ellen Hackl Fagan. A creative brew results when these four artists work together using painted slips, photographic processes, printmaking, transfers, decals and drawing. www.CasaFrela.com

Dwyer Cultural Center
“Weusi Revisited: 2010” features the work of the Weusi Artist Collective. Founded in 1965, the Harlem-based Weusi (”way-oo-see,” which means Blackness in Swahili) are considered progenitors of the Black Arts Movement and were among the first artists to make African imagery a central part of their work.

Renaissance Fine Art Gallery
"Art is: Visual, Functional, and Wearable" is a three-part series featuring the collaborations of visual artists and fashion designers. Part 2, now on display, features fashion designer/visual illustrator Donna Dove and visual artist/designer Anton. Artists participating in the series explore art as a part of everyday life produced as drawings and paintings on canvas, paper, clothing and home accessories.

Rio II Gallery
“Masks” by Wyrbel Familia recreates the different masks spectators use in their daily lives. The artist shows us with master strokes a fabulous visual representation of our egos and how we disguise the imperfections that characterize us.

Studio Museum in Harlem
The first New York museum exhibition of South African photographer Zwelethu Mthethwa brings together three compelling series: “Interiors” and “Empty Beds” document the domestic lives of migrant workers in and near Johannesburg, South Africa, while photographs in “Common Ground” focus on shared experiences of natural disaster in urban areas, featuring houses in post-Hurricane-Katrina New Orleans, Louisiana and on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa, after wildfires. www.StudioMuseum.org
