PUBLIC RECOGNITION
In 2015, HDC selected East Harlem as one of the organization’s “Six to Celebrate” neighborhoods, and East Harlem Preservation was invited to serve as the local partner in the initiative. HDC provided strategic resources to support our goal to showcase and preserve our neighborhood’s “buildings as canvases” tradition of outdoor murals and mosaic. EHP then partnered with community artists Natalie del Villar, Marthalicia Matarrita, and Xen Medina to re-imagine the East 107th Street mural of Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera.
In 2009, East Harlem Preservation received a “New Yorkers for Better Neighborhoods” award from the Citizens Committee for New York City for our environmental awareness efforts.
