When Harlem Came to Paris

For the past 2 months I've been working with the branding and design for an event here in DC called When Harlem Came to Paris.

"When Harlem Came to Paris" features unscripted portrayals of real life figures from the Harlem Renaissance era. The goal is to expose the audience to artists that may or may not be familiar and encourage further study of their contributions to the literary and musical arts. The hostess, Mamie Mason is a fictional character that was created based on the character of the same name in Chester Himes's novel Pinktoes.

The event is tonight and I will be there taking in all the amazing live performances, food and drinks. In honor of the event, I thought I'd share some of the stuff I created with you folks.

Enjoy...
