Temporary Hip-Hop Museum Comes To Harlem World
Global Artists Coalition (GAC) is set to launch a temporary hip-hop museum and culture center at Harlem's Magic Johnson Theater in October to celebrate New York's first-ever hip-hop month.
A non profit organization, GAC has previously produced successful pop-up installation events in Miami, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York. Its mission is to provide children and young adults in underserved communities with access to music, dance and visual arts which reflect their culture, while providing a pathway to successful, sustainable careers in the communication and entertainment industries.
Open from October 12-17th, the aforementioned temporary Harlem hip-hop museum will feature performances, interactive exhibits and artifacts, including rare hip-hop handbills and snapshots of the emerging rap scene by photojournalist Jamel Shabazz.
"Hip-Hop was invented in New York City neighborhoods like Harlem," said GAC Director of Community Services, Curtis Sherrod, via a statement. "It's time for a first-class institution that celebrates this culture that has impacted generations across the globe."
Prior to the opening of the temporary hip-hop museum, GAC will hold a fundraiser to finance a permanent facility located in Harlem on September 14, from 6PM to 10 PM at Zipcode, located at 2207 Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. BLVD.
