The AHL Foundation, a nonprofit organization supporting Korean and Korean American artists, is pleased to present hUStle: New Work from Artistic Noise, an exhibition hosted by Artistic Noise—a Harlem-based arts nonprofit—at the AHL Foundation Gallery beginning July 17, 2026, as part of its Space Partnership Program.
For the past 25 years, Artistic Noise has empowered young people (ages 14-22) affected by the juvenile justice, foster care, shelter, probation, and mental health systems through collaborative artmaking and creative development programs. By providing access to artistic resources, mentorship, and professional opportunities, the organization supports young artists in cultivating their voices, building community, and envisioning new possibilities for their futures.
hUStle brings together artworks created over the past year by participants in Artistic Noise’s Art & Entrepreneurship, Art & Care, and Alumni Artist in Residence programs. Working across a diverse range of mediums, the artists examine contemporary life through subjects including U.S. politics, political activism, personal identity, and the realities of living in New York City. The exhibition highlights how young artists engage with the social, economic, and cultural forces that shape their everyday experiences.
The exhibition title, hUStle, evokes both the energy of urban life and the labor required to navigate it. From the constant motion of the city to the side hustles and daily efforts that sustain individuals and communities, the works on view reflect the resilience, creativity, and self-determination of a generation confronting complex realities while imagining new futures.
All artworks will be available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the young artists who created them.
This exhibition is part of the AHL Foundation’s Space Partnership Program, which provides opportunities for artists, curators, and cultural organizations to present their work while fostering meaningful engagement with diverse audiences. The opening reception will be held on Friday, July 17, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The exhibition will remain on view through Saturday, August 1, and will be open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
