Artist Leroy Campbell’s "Harlem Stoop Series” depict scenes from the neighborhood over the years, combined with historical newspapers focusing on life in Harlem.

"These pieces are a celebration of day-to-day community life of a people who have as a back-drop of their life a history that evolves all around them,” Campbell says.

Campbell is just one of more than 100 African-American artists and galleries featured at the Harlem Fine Arts Show, which continues the 14-year tradition of the National Black Fine Arts Show. The show moved uptown to Harlem last year, and this year is in the South Hall of the Riverside Church.

The event is held in February in conjunction with Black History Month.

"We want to build on the nutrition and the culture that's in this room of all the great individuals that have, again, been involved in not only African-American history but also multi-cultural history, because this is something for everybody,” says Harlem Fine Arts Show founder Dion Clarke.

Also displaying her work is photographer Ming Smith. It includes these images of writer James Baldwin, who appears to be watching over Harlem from the skies above.

"He's just part of our life,” says Smith. “He's in the ethos, he's in the air."

Artists participating say they like the idea of being in Harlem. The old show had been held at the Puck Building in SoHo for years.

"Since this is the center of the black American cultural community, it's really important to remind people and to remember that we do have a long, long tradition,” says artist Ray Grist.

The work will be on display all weekend. For more information, go to hfas.org.
