"In 1971 Alex Harsley founded the nonprofit art organization Minority Photographers Inc. Two years later he opened the 4th Street Photo Gallery in a storefront at 67 East Fourth Street in the East Village, where he has exhibited generations of artists, young and old, and kept a welcoming, mentoring salon, which tends to keep jazz hours, opening midafternoon and operating well into the evening.
