On Friday, September 13th, Belongó and founder Arturo O'Farrill announced the launch of the capital campaign for Casa Belongó, a brick-and-mortar culture hub in East Harlem that fosters community engagement across Greater Harlem, the Upper East Side, and beyond. To celebrate the project launch, Belongó hosted a special reception featuring Commissioner of Cultural Affairs Laurie Cumbo as the special guest. Notable attendees included Luis Miranda, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, Assemblymember Alex Bores, and representatives from U.S. Congressman Adriano Espaillat's office. O'Farrill said: "As the birthplace of Afro Latin Jazz, the creative spirit of East Harlem is a perfect representation of our mission: to use music as the entry point for service to the community and to reflect back to that community the beauty and ingenuity of its citizens ...We hope to create a welcoming space where this city's diverse communities can gather together as one family." We extend our gratitude to the Doris Duke Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Hearst Foundations for attending, with a special thanks to the Howard Gilman Foundation for generously hosting the event. Located on Park Avenue at 118th street in East Harlem, and designed by the renowned architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Casa Belongó will span 20,000 square feet and include a 300+ capacity, state-of-the-art performance space, a café and jazz club, classrooms and meeting areas, and more. #Belongo #Afrolatinjazz #CasaBelongo #EastHarlem #Harlem
