The Studio Museum in Harlem will open the fall/winter season with a major exhibition entitled 30 Seconds off an Inch.

This season, the Studio Museum continues to explore and engage its permanent collection with the exhibition A Delicate Touch: Watercolors from the Permanent Collection. Presenting eighteen works on paper, A Delicate Touch brings together works dating from the late 1940s to 2007 that share the same medium.

As the inaugural StudioSound artist in 2004, Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) created DBR@SMH Volume I: Black Man Singing, a classically inspired original composition based on the exhibition Chris Ofili: Afro-Muses 1995–2005.

Throughout the twentieth century, Harlem has been regarded as a beacon of African-American history and culture.

A city within a city, Harlem is in a constant state of flux.
