我哋係邊個: 價值觀步行之旅

Exploring Values Through Art

Y嘅諾曼·. Alexander Center for Jewish Life is proud to present the Who We Are: 價值觀步行之旅, showcasing local artists representing a different humanitarian value each month.

The Norman E. Alexander Center for Jewish Life at the YM&華盛頓高地嘅尤哈 & 恩伍德 (Y) is inviting artists from Northern Manhattan to participate in an innovative community art project: 我哋係邊個: 價值觀步行之旅. Through this project, we welcome local artists to submit works of art related to a specific set of humanitarian values, one for each month of the year, to engage the community in a values-based conversation through monthly art exhibitions.

Access to Art in Washington Heights and Inwood It was our goal, amidst a COVID-19 reality, to promote local artists and offer the Northern Manhattan community access to art. While normally we would like for this art to be shown on the walls of the Y, with COVID-related limitations, it was our goal to bring our local artists to the streets of our community.
