Teachers at my junior high school encouraged me by showcasing my work at PTA meetings\, school openings\, and art fairs. In the 1970s\, I was selected to exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art as part of a showcase of outstanding works by high school students. I was also awarded a special scholarship to study sculpture at Brooklyn College for one year\, where I honed my technique and deepened my understanding of various artistic mediums. \nSince 1984\, my studies at Greenwich House Pottery have opened numerous avenues in the world of functional ceramics and sculpture\, providing exposure to gallery shows and opportunities to sell my work to art collectors. In the 1980s\, I began teaching ceramics and sculpture in both the private sector and New York City government programs\, instructing students of all ages—including children\, adults\, senior citizens\, and individuals who are blind or differently-abled—helping them experience the beauty of art through the sensitivity of their hands. \nTeaching Experience: \n\nSirovich Senior Center (1990s): Taught ceramics for 14 years.\nAssociated Blind\, Inc. (1990–2000): Taught ceramics for 15 years.\nConducted workshops throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn during the 1980s and 1990s.\nVisions for the Blind (late 1990s–early 2000s): Led 12-day workshops at their vacation camp in Spring Valley\, NY\, producing results at the conclusion of each session.This list only scratches the surface of my experience\, but I hope it gives you a sense of my dedication to teaching and creating art.”

SUMMARY:Carve\, Press\, Repeat! | PRESS & PULL | FALL 2025
DESCRIPTION:Carve\, Press\, Repeat! \nFacilitator: Alannah Sears \nClass Date: Saturday\, October 4th \nTime: 1:00 – 4:00pm \nVenue: The Children’s Art Carnival \nMax. Participants: 15 \nAges 12+ (under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). \nGeneral: $12\nFamily (Parent + Children): $15\nDonation: Pay What You Wish \nRegistration is required to participate: Save your spot today! \n\nAlannah Sears \nEver wanted to create your own pattern or custom stamp? This workshop will show you how! \nParticipants will learn the art of linoleum carving (block printing) and hand-printing techniques to transfer their small\, simple designs onto fabric. Bring clothes\, tote bags\, or extra fabric to print on during the session. \nTip: Carving takes time\, so come prepared with a simple design to make sure you have enough time to print. \nAbout the process:Lino printing is a traditional relief printmaking technique\, often called lino cutting. It involves carving a design into a linoleum block using a sharp tool called a lino cutter. The raised (uncarved) areas are then inked with a brayer and printed onto paper or fabric using a baren or spoon. This method allows you to create multiple prints (called editions) of your artwork. \nWhile we’ll touch on traditional block printing principles\, this workshop is designed to help you develop your concept and understand the fundamentals of linoleum block printmaking—carving\, inking\, and creating reproductions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the facilitators: \n \n Alannah Sears is a Brooklyn-based artist who investigates the complexities of the female experience through delicate graphite drawings. Her work challenges traditional representations of the female form\, creating figures that defy gravity and conventional notions of beauty. These figures contort\, elongate\, squeeze\, and fold in uncanny or impossible ways\, embodying an ethereal beauty through the delicate interplay of light and shadow. She has exhibited her work at CUE Art Foundation\, and Paradise Palace\, and has been awarded residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center\, Joan Mitchell Foundation (NY)\, and Vermont Studio Center.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Harlem
DESCRIPTION:The Colored Girls Museum × The Children’s Art Carnival \n\nFirst Time Ever I Saw Your Face Harlem\n\nJoin The Children’s Art Carnival and The Colored Girls Museum for a conversation with participating artists about creating intimate portraits.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, October 4\, 4 to 6 pm (RSVP) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Dates:  September 26 – November 2\, 2025\nLocation: The Children’s Art Carnival\, 62 Hamilton Terrace\, New York\, NY 10031 \nhttps://youtu.be/816dK-lERK4 \n\n\n\n\nFirst Time Ever I Saw Your Face is a traveling group exhibition commissioned by The Colored Girls Museum (TCGM). The title of the exhibition\, inspired by Roberta Flack’s iconic 1972 vocal rendition\, was chosen as a love song to black girlhood by TCGM’s Founder\, Vashti Dubois. Tasked with creating portraits of Black girls ages 10 – 18\, the series to-date features six paintings by artists and their muses: \n\nMisha McGlown & Madison Proctor\nNile Livingston & Tyjanae Williams\nChanell Phillips & Christen Harvey\nSerena Saunders & Myka Ollison\nAysha Ray Walker & Haley Ray\nTara Pearson (aka Misty Sol) & Ayah Pearson\n\nThe Children’s Art Carnival (CAC)\, in partnership with The Colored Girls Museum\, has commissioned three additional artists\, all from Harlem\, to create new portraits to contribute to the traveling series. The artists and their muses are : \n\nMoses Harper & Cayla McTair\nKephera Ife & Shiloh Lecky\nGwendolyn Black & Zoe Browner\n\nAll nine portraits\, which include the original six\, will be on display at CAC from September 26\, 2025\, through November 2\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Colored Girls Museum: The Colored Girls Museum is a Black-women founded\, collectively-led house museum whose mission emerges out of our sincere duty to African Diasporic histories\, cultural traditions\, and political commitments. The museum is located at 4613 Newhall St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19144. Please visit thecoloredgirlsmuseum.com to book an appointment and for more information. \nAbout the Children’s Art Carnival: Since 1969\, The Children’s Art Carnival has provided arts programs for young people and families in West Harlem and the broader Harlem community. Understanding that the arts are a bridge to learning and to overall competency\, CAC’s long-standing objective has been to support the development and growth of participants from early ages through adulthood and to provide creative experiences that will engage young people\, their families\, and community members. We are equally committed to providing professional development opportunities and resources to early-career and emerging artists from Harlem\, New York City\, and throughout the region. \nFirst Time Ever I Saw Your Face is made possible with funding from West Harlem Development Corporation\, New York Council on the Arts\, Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the Ruth Foundation for The Arts and donations from New York Film Academy and Hamilton Heights community and beyond.

SUMMARY:Easy! Watercolor - PACK IT!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of exploring watercolor painting without worrying about making a mess at home. In the CAC workshop space\, children are free to experiment with vibrant watercolor paints\, and parents are welcome to join them in painting. A perfect activity for a playdate\, too. \nEach workshop will introduce a few simple methods for experimenting with and incorporating watercolor paint\, ink\, pencils\, and markers. We offer two family workshops to keep the class size smaller\, allowing for more hands-on instruction. So please choose your time slot that works best for you. \nThe workshop will be simple enough for children\, yet challenging enough for adults. All ages are welcome to join. All materials included. \n\n\n\n\nThe 2nd Saturday of every month \nClass Date: \n\nOctober 11: Pack it\nNovember 8: The Autumn Leaves – observation drawing and painting\nDecember 13 Holiday Card Making) During the CAC Holiday Art Sale\n\nTime: \n\nFamily session 1 – 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.\nFamily session 2 – 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.\n\nAge Group: All ages welcome (3+)\, with a focus on children ages 5–15 \nFee: $5 for one person\, $7 for an adult and a child or pay-what-you-can  \nRegistration is required to participate: Save your spot today! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOctorber 11: Pack It! Work Samples\n\n\n \nAbout the facilitator: \nTomo Mori is a native of Japan and a West Harlem-based artist who focuses on fiber art installation and collage. \nTomo learned watercolor rigorously under a master watercolorist from age 14 to 15 to enroll herself at Tokyo Metropolitan High School for Music and Fine Art\, and she was accepted to the school with a perfect score. \nWatercolor is not central to her current art practice; however\, she uses the skill to sketch her ideas or keep a visual journal. When she paints watercolor\, she finds freedom\, lighting her spirit. Perhaps because they are just sketches\, or the medium is easy to manage. Through these workshops she wants to share the joy and therapeutic nature of watercolor painting. \nTomo’s work has been exhibited in various venues like Columbia University\, Scope Miami\, Laundromat Project\, Rush Arts Galleries\, Governors Island\, Newark Museum\, Christie’s and Swann Auction Galleries. She received a commission from MTA and completed a laminated glass and metal installation in 2018. She participated in the Winter Workspace Residency at Wave Hill in early 2023.

SUMMARY:Drawing for People Who Think They Can’t Draw
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd and 4th Sundays of every month! \n\n\nClass Dates: \n\nSeptember 14\, 28\nOctober 12\, 26\nNovember 9\, 23\nDecember 7\, 21\n\nTime: 2:00 to 4:00pm \nAge Group: Teens and Adults \nAre You Drawing Insecure?? We Gotchu! \nThink you can’t draw? Well\, think again…! This welcoming class for teens and adults is designed for two levels: \n\nLevel 1 (Beginners): Learn to use artists’ drawing tools\, get confident\, and discover new ways of seeing and imagining that will result in drawings you are proud of!\n\n\nLevel 2 (Intermediate): For students with some experience who want to go further—bring your own photos\, or receive subjects and style options to explore in class.\n\nAt both levels\, you’ll expand your awareness of what makes a “good drawing\,” have fun discovering your unique artistic style\, and receive 1:1 individualized guidance. \nDon’t miss this empowering program—your inner artist called and they want OUT! Yes\, you can draw! You got this! \nThe CAC will provide the materials and tools; however\, if you prefer to use your own\, please do not hesitate to do so. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura King (Pictured Above) \nAbout the facilitator: \nLaura King\, artist and resident of West Harlem\, is passionate about expressing city life by drawing.

SUMMARY:Mask Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: Jennifer Ivey and Deborah Singletary \nSaturday\, October 25th \n1:00 – 3:00 p.m. \nLocation: The Children’s Art Carnival \nAll ages welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult; no drop-offs)! \nStep into the world of creative expression in this hands-on workshop! Design and craft your very own unique mask—ideal for theater\, cultural celebrations\, or personal storytelling. Experiment with a variety of materials\, explore diverse styles\, and learn artistic techniques to bring your vision to life at the Children’s Art Carnival. Unleash your imagination and make a mask that’s truly one-of-a-kind! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAbout the facilitators: \n \nJennifer Ivey  \nJennifer was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens. She has experienced NYC from a very different urban setting. Her first formal introduction to the art world was attending the Brooklyn Museum Children’s Art program. \n“But I attribute my gift for creating through my father’s passion for theatre and my passion for an eclectic home environment which included original oil paintings by other young artists\,” she stated. \nJennifer was educated in NYC’s finest public schools and graduated from Pratt Institute with a BA in art education. At Pratt Institute\, she studied with William T. Williams and as a graduate student\, she studied with Anthony Tone at the New School. Jennifer has taught art in the public school system and worked as an art consultant. \nJennifer has experimented with multi-medium design. She has made puppets for theatre and feathered jewelry for entertainer Nina Simone and on-air personality Melba Toliver. \nShe continues to find a fascination for facial expressions of people in groups in old photographs and uses them in her artwork. She has exhibited with Black Women of Brooklyn and other environs\, is a member of the Long Island Black Artist Association and Blacker Than Thou Cross Culture. \nJennifer and her husband Rod have two sons. Royal is an NBA coach and Sterling is a health care worker. Moving from Harlem\, they now residue in the laid-back community of Hollis\, NY\, one of the breeding grounds of Hip Hop. \n  \n\n\n\n\n \nDeborah Singletary \nDeborah Singletary’s artwork has appeared in the New Yorker\, “ New Women “ Magazine\, The New York Daily News\, Painting From The Source (Harper Collins )\, Making What Your Means Can’t Buy ( Vision Carriers Press ) and Art’s Buoyant Felicity: An Anthology Art/Creativity Healing (Evolutionary Girls ). She was included in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture’s major show\, “ Black New York Artist of The 20th Century. “ \n   Much of Deborah’s artwork is inspired by her southern and African roots. She is sought after for her paintings\, assemblages and word wands.  Deborah’s  recent exhibition credits include: WEUSI: Evolution of a Revolution (Akwaaba Gallery\, Newark\, N.J.)\,  Black Joy and Resilience ( Calabar Gallery Harlem\, N.Y. )\, American HooDoo and Southern Black American-Centric Spiritual Ways ( Rush Gallery New York\, N.Y. )\, Her story: Voice\, Vision & Memory ( LeRoy Neiman Art Center Harlem\, N.Y.) and On the Matter of Water ( Kenkeleba Gallery New York\, N.Y.). \nUtilizing her passion and art in her work as an interfaith minister\, Deborah’s work helps pierce the veil separating us from our true selves. As a painter and multimedia artist\, her warm spirit and personality have inspired many to put their hidden artistic talents on display. She says\, “ For me\, making art is a spiritual path and being an artist is having a love story” \n

I was also awarded a special scholarship to study sculpture at Brooklyn College for one year\, where I honed my technique and deepened my understanding of various artistic mediums. \nSince 1984\, my studies at Greenwich House Pottery have opened numerous avenues in the world of functional ceramics and sculpture\, providing exposure to gallery shows and opportunities to sell my work to art collectors. In the 1980s\, I began teaching ceramics and sculpture in both the private sector and New York City government programs\, instructing students of all ages—including children\, adults\, senior citizens\, and individuals who are blind or differently-abled—helping them experience the beauty of art through the sensitivity of their hands. \nTeaching Experience: \n\nSirovich Senior Center (1990s): Taught ceramics for 14 years.\nAssociated Blind\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Easy! Watercolor - The Autumn Leaves 1:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of exploring watercolor painting without worrying about making a mess at home. In the CAC workshop space\, children are free to experiment with vibrant watercolor paints\, and parents are welcome to join them in painting. A perfect activity for a playdate\, too. \nEach workshop will introduce a few simple methods for experimenting with and incorporating watercolor paint\, ink\, pencils\, and markers. We offer two family workshops to keep the class size smaller\, allowing for more hands-on instruction. So please choose your time slot that works best for you. \nThe workshop will be simple enough for children\, yet challenging enough for adults. All ages are welcome to join. All materials included. \n\n*We have a few smocks/aprons\, but watercolor ink can be hard to wash off. Please dress in a ‘ready-to-do-art’ outfit. \n\n\n\nThe 2nd Saturday of every month \nClass Date: \n\nOctober 11: Pack it\nNovember 8: The Autumn Leaves – observation drawing and painting\nDecember 13 Holiday Card Making) During the CAC Holiday Art Sale\n\nTime: \n\nFamily session 1 – 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.\nFamily session 2 – 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.\n\nAge Group: All ages welcome (3+)\, with a focus on children ages 5–15 \nFee: $5 for one person\, $7 for an adult and a child or pay-what-you-can  \nRegistration is required to participate: Save your spot today! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAbout the facilitator: \nTomo Mori is a native of Japan and a West Harlem-based artist who focuses on fiber art installation and collage. \nTomo learned watercolor rigorously under a master watercolorist from age 14 to 15 to enroll herself at Tokyo Metropolitan High School for Music and Fine Art\, and she was accepted to the school with a perfect score. \nWatercolor is not central to her current art practice; however\, she uses the skill to sketch her ideas or keep a visual journal. When she paints watercolor\, she finds freedom\, lighting her spirit. Perhaps because they are just sketches\, or the medium is easy to manage. Through these workshops she wants to share the joy and therapeutic nature of watercolor painting. \nTomo’s work has been exhibited in various venues like Columbia University\, Scope Miami\, Laundromat Project\, Rush Arts Galleries\, Governors Island\, Newark Museum\, Christie’s and Swann Auction Galleries. She received a commission from MTA and completed a laminated glass and metal installation in 2018. She participated in the Winter Workspace Residency at Wave Hill in early 2023. She is currently working as a studio artist at the Children’s Art Carnival. \n\n\n\n\n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception Etched in Time by The Unframed Arts Collective
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: November 15\, 2025\, 4 pm to 7 pm. Register with Donation \nEtched in Time considers how identity\, memories\, and ambitions intersect in the creation of art. This exhibition will explore the complexities of time as told through the eyes of our artists\, primarily composed of migrants and folks experiencing housing insecurity. We beg the question\, ‘what remains when time moves on?’ \nEtched in Time will showcase the stories of six distinct featured artists\, and additional artworks from dozens of artists in our community who turn to art as self-expression and healing. This exhibition will also feature children’s works\, leaving reflections of family\, home\, and endless imagination. All works are tangible evidence of lives lived fully\, and of voices that refuse to be forgotten. We demand that these stories not only be remembered\, but also celebrated. \nA diverse range of mediums will be displayed: crocheted pieces to origami sculptures to developed photographs and paper drawings. The artworks date back to the launch of our art programs in 2023\, up until this year as we begin our third year of operation. \nThe Children’s Art Carnival\, a Harlem-based non-profit\, will be hosting Etched in Time. The exhibition will be on view Saturdays and Sundays from November 15th until December 7th from 12 PM – 7 PM. All ticket proceeds will go directly to the featured artists\, in addition to all earnings from sold artworks. \nIf you are a student\, use the student code STUDENT8 for $8 tickets. We believe that art should be accessible for all. If ticket pricing remains a barrier to you\, kindly email us at info.unframedarts@gmail.com for a complimentary ticket! \nThe Unframed Arts Collective is a community initiative currently in the process of becoming a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. A donation of any kind goes directly toward our art programs and our mission to make art accessible to all New Yorkers. We deeply appreciate your support. \nRegister with Donation

Teachers at my junior high school encouraged me by showcasing my work at PTA meetings\, school openings\, and art fairs. In the 1970s\, I was selected to exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art as part of a showcase of outstanding works by high school students. I was also awarded a special scholarship to study sculpture at Brooklyn College for one year\, where I honed my technique and deepened my understanding of various artistic mediums. \nSince 1984\, my studies at Greenwich House Pottery have opened numerous avenues in the world of functional ceramics and sculpture\, providing exposure to gallery shows and opportunities to sell my work to art collectors. In the 1980s\, I began teaching ceramics and sculpture in both the private sector and New York City government programs\, instructing students of all ages—including children\, adults\, senior citizens\, and individuals who are blind or differently-abled—helping them experience the beauty of art through the sensitivity of their hands. \nTeaching Experience: \n\nSirovich Senior Center (1990s): Taught ceramics for 14 years.\nAssociated Blind\, Inc. (1990–2000): Taught ceramics for 15 years.\nConducted workshops throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn during the 1980s and 1990s.\nVisions for the Blind (late 1990s–early 2000s): Led 12-day workshops at their vacation camp in Spring Valley\, NY\, producing results at the conclusion of each session.This list only scratches the surface of my experience\, but I hope it gives you a sense of my dedication to teaching and creating art.”
