Drawing over 7,000 visitors to the gallery to date, having garnered the attention of local and national media, exhibiting the work of over 60 emerging artists as well as several notables including Jamel Shabazz and Danny Simmons, is an indicator that The Gallery @ Harriet’s is ready for the big leagues.

The evenings highlights include performance Brooklyn-based mic-slayer/producer 77Klash, a fashion presentation showcasing the collections of Nassat, Miss Bruno, Coup d’etat and Harriet’s Alter Ego, food and dessert samplings courtesy of local eateries and DJ sets by the world renown DJ Spinna. Gift bags will be distribute to the first 300 guests.
