**This event takes place at the Studio Museum in Harlem (144 West 125th St)** This summer series, Uptown Fridays! transforms the Studio Museum courtyard and galleries into a vibrant social hub. Dance to the sounds of Libation's DJ Ian Friday with Manchildblack and Afro Mosaicand enjoy signature cocktails and drink specials. Guests are also invited to join free guided tours of current exhibitions and browse the Museum Store's incredible selection of books, jewelry, t-shirts and gifts. The summer series is presented in relation to Harlem Postcards, an ongoing project that invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site of cultural activity, political vitality, visual stimuli, artistic contemplation and creative production. Representing intimate and dynamic perspectives of Harlem, the images reflect the idiosyncratic visions of contemporary artists from a wide range of backgrounds and locations. Each photograph has been reproduced as a limited edition postcard available free to visitors of the Studio Museum. Harlem Postcards Summer 2017 is organized by Doris Zhao, Curatorial Assistant, and is on view through September 10, 2017.
