On Tuesday, we welcomed the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) Commissioner Diya Vij to HSA. The event, presented in conjunction with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone , was an opportunity for DCLA to better understand the challenges Upper Manhattan artists, cultural workers and arts organizations face, and the support that’s needed to help our arts ecosystem thrive.

Thank you to all of the organizations involved, as well as to our many attendees, who shared their perspectives on what would make the arts and cultural space for sustainable for everyone!

It was wonderful to see a profile in the New York Amsterdam News celebrating our very own Media & Design department director AK Lovelace! Not only is he in an important leadership role here, but he’s also a working comic book artist and illustrator.

From the profile: “Lovelace understands how a young person can be drawn to art, because that was his own experience. In an accelerated program in elementary school, he made a book of animal drawings for a class project. Once his grandmother got him his first comic book, his artistic drive locked into place. After attending the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan and earning a bachelor’s degree at the School of Visual Arts, he began doing professional comic work.

“‘I put together and pitched a comic book art program,’ Lovelace said about his start as a teacher. After a break from teaching he returned with a fervor, beginning his work as an instructor at HSA in 2017.”
