Northern Manhattan's Cultural Arts Hub

At the northern tip of Manhattan, a rich tapestry of cultures and the island’s largest swath of natural forest provide inspiration for a dynamic community of artists, film makers, musicians, and writers. Inwood Art Works aims to harness and promote the artistic energy of Inwood and its surrounding community with programs of events for visual arts, film, and stage.
