“GWB Black and White was my first of many Bridge paintings exploring interior/exterior compositions and synthesis of the landscape with the cityscape. Reflection Chair was part of a series painted in a vacant apartment, every day for a month. I worked on several paintings at a time to capture the light at the critical times of the day.” Click image to visit navahjo.com

"The Black Lives Matter protests were peaceful and organized. People of all ages, races, religions marched together. Parents showed the world that they care and taught their children to stand up for peace, for justice, and for your neighbor. I am proud to be a part of the uptown community. Proud to call Inwood my home." Click the image to visit kathleenholloway.com

After the war, my parents learned that none of their family in Poland survived. In "Coming to America" the glass and the grate covering our photographs represent walls we build to separate ourselves from each other and our shared humanity. The broken menorah and the dried fruit in "Menorah" symbolize longing for home, family, love. Click the image to visit rosanaparstek.com

Washington Heights has been my home for over 30 years. The neighborhood is New York City, yet it also has its own history and its own poetry. My work often deals with time, change, resurrection. This symbolist collage is about the layers of ups and downs, human struggle and hope, and ultimately a communal celebration. Click the image to visit lilialevin.nyc

These works are inspired by the colors and light of Washington Heights: the red winter sunrises over the rooftops, the shadow of the George Washington Bridge on the Hudson River. Both paintings are textural and luminous. Click the image to visit katgb.art

This is one of several powerful murals created by Danny in the city. Completed in October 2020, it is “a visual representation of the community’s right to vote” and “a message: it is super important everyone votes.” “Words and images are powerful… [they] spark a conversation.” Click the image to visit artmandan.com

“Inwood is a unique neighborhood where the intersection of nature and the urban environment is evident. Displayed at the vacant William H. Hurst House this artwork is comprised of hundreds of discrete prints collaged together. This artwork was first shown through Art Off Screen, during the Summer of 2020.” Click the image to visit rachelsydlowski.com

In these pieces I wanted to capture the texture of the uptown urban landscape from the mundane street corner signage to the imposing, omnipresent GW bridge. Though vastly different in scale the collage technique infuses each with a similar complex simplicity. Click the image to visit jamesjennings.art on Instagram

“The Autumn flourish and the fiery energy in life—represented by color and line, strength and passion. The Autumn flourish perseveres wildly, introducing us into the final season of the yearly cycle, the perpetual journey.” Click the image to visit joannebarham.com

This project was for artists who lived in the Heights for over 15 years. The weaving and the silk screen are a pair. They show the changes in the neighborhood, and also the artistic evolution of one medium into a different one. Click the image to visit estarweaver.com

“I was lucky to catch this scene while on one of my daily wheelchair rides around the neighborhood, camera around my neck. As a librarian I’ve always found this to be a very special building with its readers adorning the facade. You never know when you will be presented with magic moments like this.

“I regularly find inspiration for my paintings from living in Washington Heights; a neighborhood that offers the enchantment of forest, as well as the grit of urban life, all set against the expanse of the Hudson River and the towering George Washington Bridge.” Click the image to visit robertbuckwalter.com

“I've been painting window view scenes from my home at Ft Washington Avenue since 1999. My easel faces East, and the elevation is key to many of my paintings. The vibrant look of Washington Heights in all seasons provides me with seemingly endless material for observation.” Click the image to visit michaellouisjohnson-art.com

Rethinking is about “how it is difficult to know how we are looked at by others and on the misconceptions that happen based on stereotypes.” Pursuit of Happiness is part of the current outdoor "For the Love of Art: An Appropriated Intentions Exhibition” on a fence on Fort George Hill between Dyckman St and St. Nicholas Ave. Click the image to visit rafaelaluna.com

“My usual medium is oil but I started making life drawings in the spring of 2020. The technique — pen and color pencils — is new to me, but the discipline of life drawing is not. The process of drawing from nature is a form of meditation, it helps to concentrate and calm the mind, to live in the moment, to truly see. We all need it now like never before.”

Mario paints what he loves: the field where he coaches Little League, with players, Halls of Fame photos, with buildings, trees, signs, names. Or the bridge with the expanse of blue water. The viewer can “walk” in the bright paintings, finding meaning and recognizing details everywhere.

Both ceramic tiles are of my home. In 2007 we purchased a dilapidated turn of the century townhouse in Washington Heights. It had great bones. It needed a ton of work but we succeeded in making a lovely home and my art studio, and in preserving a piece of city history and bringing the beauty of the house back to the neighborhood.

“The many hands, creatures, heads and plants are all in their separate bubbles and distanced from each other. The idea grew out of the pandemic (no touching allowed), the isolation that all of us are feeling in our lives and the gratitude that despite the social distancing, we feel the support of the community.” Click the image to visit susannbresler.com

This work conveys spontaneity and delight through the use of vivid color in diverse yet harmonious shapes. Various greens and bright colors evoke the spirit of nature, positive and negative spaces flutter and interact, inviting the viewer to enter this abstract world for a little daydream.
