"Changes: Polaroid Impressions" Liz DeMayo (Whittaker Photo Gallery)
February 3 to February 20, 2011 
Liz DeMayo creates intimate poetic landscapes using a unique creative process. Starting by taking a photograph with a Polaroid camera she then manipulates the photographic emulsion with pens or other tools. DeMayo's work reminds us of the creative origins and history of photography, from hand-colored photographs of the 19th century to the late 20th century invention of the Polaroid camera. Polaroid film is becoming as scarce as carbon paper, the fountain pen and other 20th century inventions. The images, process and subject matter of Inwood and Fort Tryon Park capture a particular timelessness of New York and the creative spirit. This exhibit is made possible in part with funds from the North Manhattan Regrant Program, made possible by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment zone Development Corporation.

“A Portrait of Harlem”
Photography by Lenore Browne
On exhibit: Wednesday, December 8, 2010 to January 20, 2011
Wednesday, December 8 to January 21, 2011
Gallery Talk: Wednesday, January 12, 7pm
This exhibit of black and white photographs presents Harlem as it reflects the economic and social changes of the current neighborhood landscape similar to the changes experienced by other communities New York City, particularly Washington Heights and the Lower East Side.
"I walk through Harlem photographing images of its historical and cultural past that are often unnoticed in today's fast-paced lifestyle. Strikingly, vestiges of Harlem's history co-exist with new elements of its on-going transformation and redevelopment. I am compelled to capture what remains of Harlem’s essence, which is at risk of being lost. I record images of the time, as Harlem exists today, at the turning point of its revival." This artist photographs Harlem to preserve what remains of its cultural heritage and legacy before it is lost forever. Browne, a native New Yorker, has resided in Harlem over twenty years. This exhibit series is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Harlem Community Arts Fund.

With the end of modernity and the loss of absolute ideals, faced with a sense of fluctuating values, instability, in a context of incessant questioning, reconsideration, how do artists make work?
Configured largely as mental rather than physical spaces, the paintings, drawings, and objects in snippets samplings static draw from our world of popular culture and art history. In these works, images are not lifted from the \"real\" world as in the collage and ready-made of the 20th century where the cigarette package was cut and pasted down, and the urinal reconvened. Rather, the images, forms, and objects in this exhibition are constructed, painted, drawn, even rendered-some tenderly and with care, others in an off-hand fashion. Familiar graphics and quotidian images are repackaged utilizing various modernist techniques and genres-Abstract Expressionism, American Pop Art of the sixties, Goth, and German art of the eighties through to the present.

Shifting Boundaries & Culture of the Lower East Side
Photographs by Lahary Pittman
Exhibition dates: Jan. 7 - Feb. 11, 2009
Reception: Wed., Jan. 7, 6-8pm
This exhibit is a contemporary photo essay on the changing Lower East Side. Pittman follows in the path of generations of documentary photographers who since the late 19th century have chronicled life on the lower east side. Jacob Riis documented the squalor of tenement life at the beginning at the turn of the century; Ben Shahn (an alumnus of the Educational Alliance) and others documented street life in the 1930's and 40's; Rebecca Lepkoff (another alum) documented the changes in the 1950's an1960's.
Shifting Boundaries catalogues the LES at yet another turning point. The Lower East Side primarily made up of poor and working class residents is rapidly seeing new luxury high-rise apartments and hotels being built on the site of former tenements. Expensive restaurants, hip bars, designer boutiques and art galleries are squeezing into ten foot wide storefronts that formerly housed family operated small business for decades.

Exhibit: What Surrounds Us: Finding and Making Home
ARTISTS: Keliy Anderson-Staley, Monica Carrier, Matthew Cowan, Melissa Cowper-Smith, Julie Glauert, Lee Hunter, Elaine Kaufmann, Michal Pashtan, Saul Robbins, Nicole Tschampel
Exhibited: Jan. 7 to Feb. 11, 2009
This exhibition examines the elements that build a home and explores the various ways people use these elements to find and make home. Each artist in the exhibit has a different artistic focus, but all draw inspiration from a different aspect of home. By gathering these various reflections in one place, this exhibition aims not to build a complete vision of home, but instead to create a space that invites meditation on this concept. The exhibit includes drawings, photographs paintings and sculpture.

Because of the Educational Alliance's history in assisting immigrants in New York to create a new home here, it is an exciting and fitting host for this show. The Alliance remains a familiar place for many New Yorkers, a temporary home throughout the day in many people\'s lives. By including a combination of local and International artists, this exhibition welcomes a global dialogue and will hopefully widen the Educational Alliance's audience. [back to top]
2008
Exhibit: Metal-Morphosis II
Exhibited: Nov. 12 to Dec. 30, 2008
An exhibit of metal sculpture by artists associated with the welding studio at The Educational Alliance. The exhibit celebrates the 10th anniversary of the renovation of the metal shop and first Metal-Morphosis exhibit in 1998.
Exhibit: Photographs of the Lower East Side, 1937 to 1957
"This exhibit in the Whittaker Center features photographs of life on the Lower East Side taken during the gradual change from a community composed of primarily Eastern European immigrants to an ethnically diverse neighborhood. Lepkoff's photographs capture the rich mix of street life providing a vivid panoramic portrait of the Lower East Side when very few photographers were documenting the neighborhood.
Rebecca Lepkoff has been eloquently documenting life on the Lower East Side since 1937 when she became involved with the Photo League. The 2006 publication of her monograph Life on the Lower East Side: Photographs by Rebecca Lepkoff, 1937-1950 , has revived interest in her vintage street photographs. Rebecca Lepkoff studied dance at the Educational Alliance as an adolescent. As a young adult she returned to start the first young artist photography class at the Educational Alliance.
