Harlem Sculpture Gardens is the latest public art district in New York City. Public art districts abound in NYC, including the High Line in Chelsea, Dumbo and Bushwick in Brooklyn, the Garment District, and Times Square. Harlem Sculpture Gardens spans across 67 acres, comprising three historic parks, several street malls, garden, and a plaza. Each year, rotating works are featured by a variety of artists. West Harlem's cultural, demographic, and natural history is the inspiration for much of the art.

The exhibition is co-presented by the West Harlem Art Fund and the New York Artists Equity Association. It is curated by Savona Bailey-McClain, the Executive Director of West Harlem Art Fund.

Land management practices are crucial for this unique urban district. Several groups and institutions have been brought together to address climate change issues and resiliency. Among the key partners are City College School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture Program; the J.Max Bond Center for Urban Futures at City College; Columbia Climate School’s Center for Integrated Earth System Information; The Brotherhood Sister Sol; June Moses, Tenant Advocate; New York Restoration Project; NYU Gallatin Wetlab; and the Broadway Mall Association.

It’s the members' desire to work with local citizens, students, and academics on data analysis, collection and sharing.
