DTH Founders' Week 2022 February 7-13 | Join The Celebration!
Born and raised in Harlem, Arthur Mitchell sought to transform his community with the creation of Dance Theatre of Harlem and, 53 years later, the institution he founded continues to be a cultural treasure for the community, as well as a beacon for Harlem to the world.
Guided by Sharon Duncan, DTH’s Director of Individual Giving, "Arthur Mitchell’s Harlem" is a tour of several locations in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem that were a part of Mr. Mitchell’s life. The tour was filmed pre-pandemic, in September 2019 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Mr. Mitchell’s passing.
