The end of seven months of Monday music by trombonist Craig Harris’ funky and exciting improvising ensemble at Harlem’s Dwyer Cultural Center is one sad part of an all too common story, told in my latest CityArts column. Even when space for community arts activity is required by the city for real estate development, there’s no guarantee that funding to cover the activity’s overhead is forthcoming. Belt-tightning continues throughout the spectrum of arts-presenters, but the musicians must and will find someplace to play.
