SoHarlem’s mission is to create equitable opportunities as a placed-based Cultural Industries Incubator in Harlem dedicated to creativity and economic development as a way to address racial inequities and ensure a vibrant future for the people who live there. Through ongoing, evolving partnerships with individuals in the creative community, along with public and private entities, we provide a wide range of services to our fellow New Yorkers helping them achieve economic self-sufficiency. We have demonstrated that social cohesion is critical to addressing the needs of our community, bringing people together to create and learn at the intersection of the arts with economic development.
