A CULTURAL NEXUS FOR HARLEM

My Image Studios (MIST) is arguably one of the most unique cultural spaces in Harlem, if not all of New York City. Designed and built with the intention to serve the greater Harlem and New York communities by providing a platform where film, music, visual art, poetry, comedy, seminars and other live and recorded events can be held.

 

The idea for developing MIST began in 1997 when Carlton Brown and Walter Edwards, partners at Full Spectrum - New York, recognized the challenges that Harlem would face with new investment, residents and stakeholders moving uptown and decided it was important to celebrate and share the culture of this renowned community with its long standing residents and its new residents and visitors.

 

Full Spectrum participated in a community forum,“Crosstown 116th-River to River” that explored Harlem’s rich history and its future direction and intended to have this gathering inform their vision for a place to make these connections happen.

 

MIST’s location in the upscale Kalahari condo development, conveniently adjacent to major transportation thoroughfares and other cultural and entertainment destinations also offers a compelling platform for connection with it’s immediate neighbors, commuters, visitors and the community. Now partnered with Madiba Harlem, who offers their unique menu, wine pairings and our new internet co-working space the; Kalahari Cafe; the theater spaces and state-of-the-art venue also delivers on the commitment

Full Spectrum made to those stakeholders in 1997 connecting the location to emerging and established educational, faith-based, cultural, political, medical, creative and social elements and initiatives.

 

MIST Harlem is positioned to take advantage of the “hot” Harlem market while serving the corridors diverse community east to west-a vibrant New York destination for both residents and tourists with a traditional Italian community, co-mingled with Central American immigrants, Puerto Ricans and other Caribbean groups with African Americans, West Africans and the mostly Anglo community of University Heights. As downtown comes uptown and Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and the world filters through Harlem’s hotspots, MIST will be open to them all, making our destination an essential stop for those seeking great food, entertainment, culture and connection.

 

MIST creates an engaging and compelling arena where the unique culture of the African Diaspora can be shared with the world thru Film, Comedy, Music, Spoken Word, Visual Art and Madiba’s delicious cuisine. We provide a platform for the rituals that give family and community meaning form can take place: birthdays, weddings, community conversations, engagements, debates, trainings, screenings, meetups and presentations. MIST serves a broad social mission for deconstructing the barriers that pull us apart making a safe space where people get together without judgment or fear.
