Heart Of The Arts Initiative Provides A Space For Artists To Create And Showcase Their Works In Midtown

Midtown Alliance connects artists to the community through its Heart of the Arts initiative. The first phase of the program launched last year when a small group of local artists created street-level exhibitions in vacant storefronts of midtown.

Now, the second phase is underway, with artist residencies.

“We’re creating space for artists to work in our neighborhood and really kind of trying to lower the barriers for artists to bring their creative work to our district, and importantly be a part of the midtown community,” Heart of the Arts program manager Lauren Bohn told “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes.
