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.

On Air Artist Spotlight with Matt O'Shea

Matt O'Shea was born and raised in NYC and attended local schools. A high school media class sparked his interest in film production which led to enrollment at Boston’s Emerson College. Without a compass pointing into any specific medium, he wound up working almost exclusively on the production of television commercials with occasional assistance to friends who needed help making short and long format films.
