Event Details

The many colorful murals and mosaics of Spanish Harlem tell us so much about the history, culture, politics, and heroes of this neighborhood and its residents. Many of the artworks celebrate the Latin culture of the neighborhood. Some murals include tropical scenery of the places from which many members of this community emigrated to New York while others are dedicated to accomplished citizens of Spanish Harlem, such as the poets Julia de Burgos and Pedro Pietri. A number of the gifted artists who created the murals received commissions from the City of New York as part of projects to add more high quality murals to the Spanish Harlem community.
