"First and foremost, this is my artist space. And I am a crystal-wearing, burning incense, candle-lighting type of woman. I’ve always been like that. That energy of preparation, of setting the tone, of ritual is just very important with me." Artist and community gallery owner H.L. Anderson sat down with South Side Weekly Radio's Erisa Apantaku to discuss her space in Washington Heights. In addition to talking about her personal art practice, Anderson mentioned her own goals for the H.L. Anderson Arts & Culture Studio on 95th and Bishop.
