FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

West Harlem, NY … The West Harlem Art Fund and The City College of New York are pleased to announce the finalists for the “In Dialogue” exhibition. All of the proposals are being reviewed by the City of New York for final approval. The winners are:

Ø      Scherezade Garcia – Unity Ribbon

Ø      Brett Seamans – Home Ground

Ø      Mary Sweeney – Respite

Ø      Marcie Revens – Closer: In Conversation

The exhibition is being planned for early May, 2010 with City approval. Three finalists are graduate students in the Fine Arts program and one finalist is a graduate student in the Landscape Architecture program at the college.

According to Executive Director, Savona Bailey-McClain, “The collaboration that The West Harlem Art Fund and The City College of New York have formed is extremely important for both the West Harlem community and the City at large. Think tanks around the country have stressed the need for colleges to interact more in cities and spur entrepreneurship, production and new technologies. The partnership we have created shows that the “arts” is an important industry too that can affect tourism, land use and economic development.”
