West Harlem Art Fund

The West Harlem Art Fund (WHAF) is a twen­ty-six year old, pub­lic art and new media orga­ni­za­tion. Like explor­ers from the past, who searched for new lands and peo­ple, WHAF seek oppor­tu­ni­ties for artists and cre­ative pro­fes­sion­als through­out NYC and beyond wish­ing to show­case and share their tal­ent. The West Harlem Art Fund presents art and cul­ture in open and pub­lic spaces to add aes­thet­ic inter­est; pro­mote his­tor­i­cal and cul­tur­al her­itage; and sup­port com­mu­ni­ty involve­ment in local devel­op­ment. Their her­itage sym­bol Afun­tum­mireku-denkyemmtreku: is the dou­ble croc­o­dile from West Africa Ghana which means uni­ty in diversity.
