The Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) has been a mecca for art, music, and dance students to explore for over fifty years. When Grammy winning musician/label exec/philanthropist, Herb Alpert learned HSA faced serious financial difficulties, he had the Herb Alpert Foundation fund ‘The Renaissance Project,’ a $9.5 million-dollar renovation to enable HSA to meet the needs of Harlem’s next generation of artists and performers. Imrey Studio LLC, founder/architect Celia Imrey was retained to lead the physical and aesthetic re-design. This panel will discuss the creative goals and solutions devised to turn an outdated “Brutalist Design” building into a welcoming, performance venue.
