About the Uptown Arts Stroll

The Uptown Arts Stroll is an opportunity for businesses and artists in Washington Heights and Inwood to work together to transform the community into an art gallery.

This year's Uptown Arts Stroll will be held ...

Saturday & Sunday, 12–13 June 2004
12 noon – 8 p.m.

In 60 venues throughout
Washington Heights and Inwood
Manhattan, New York City

An opening reception to showcase sample artwork will be held ...

Wednesday, 9 June 2004, 6 – 9 p.m.
at Highbridge Recreation Center
Amsterdam Avenue and W. 173rd Street.

On 23 November 2003, the first Uptown Arts Stroll saw local merchants and institutions host local artists' exhibitions, and other local artists opened their studio doors to the community to showcase work in this creative neighborhood. More than 50 venues showed artists' work.

The success of that event has led Artists Unite, Community Board 12, The Manhattan Times, Washington Heights & Inwood Online, and other collaborators to increase the publicity for the Arts Stroll and make it a regular event to draw arts patrons from all over the city.
