Queens Museum of Art
Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Flushing
A collaboration between Queens Council on the Arts (QCA), New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the Queens Museum of Art (QMA), the event is open to the public and provides a rare opportunity for the City’s creative minds to learn from each other and connect with experts from various artistic fields. Nineteen arts organizations based in New York City will share information about their programs, presentation spaces and funding sources.
The afternoon’s activities also include an informal networking reception, a raffle and live music performances. In addition, artists will participate in portfolio reviews with QMA curatorial staff and a peer-sharing slide/video/reading slam during the event (with advance registration). Dancers are invited to attend an application session for the Dance in Queens residency and to sign up for work sample reviews with Paz Tanjuaquio of Topaz Arts. Please see below for the schedule for the day and list of participating organizations. Directions to the QMA have also been provided below.
