We are printing 5000 17" x 22", full color maps. The front will be a full color map of Harlem marking all the studios, galleries, public art and notable landmarks. A copy of an older version can be downloaded below. The back will have a sample of some of the art works from different locations. Maps will be distributed to artists and available to visitors that weekend at select cafes around Harlem.
There will also be a HOAST app that visitors can use to find your location, see your work, read your statement, view your website and social media presence, and notify you. This will be open for the full year afterwards. You can also use the app to be in touch with other artists near you, or on the tour.

Opportunity for Harlem artists to show their work
artHARLEM invites you to be part of something powerful—The Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour 2025 (HOAST2025). This is more than just a tour—it's your chance to open your doors, share your process, and connect directly with your community and art lovers from around the city. In these surreal and uncertain times, your art can unite and affirm our community. Join HOAST and use your art to raise awareness about global issues, to speak against human rights violations, and bring joy to others. Let visitors step into your studio, see where the magic happens, and hear the stories behind your work. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or multidisciplinary creative, HOAST2025 is an opportunity for authentic exposure and meaningful conversation. HOAST does not segregate, discriminate nor exclude.
