Did you catch the 3rd annual Queens Art Express Festival? We sure hope so! Boro Mag‘s headline called QAX a “summer staycation” while The Q Note noted, “It’s been a good year for Astoria”.  Read more here, and especially check out We Heart Astoria‘s post and QCA’s own pics of the Queens Art Express Kick Off Party, which took place at Kaufman Astoria Studios.

And it’s true. New to this year’s Festival is its expansion of events along the N/Q/R Astoria train lines in addition to the “International Express” of the No. 7 line running along Long Island City to Flushing. And although the Festival itself happened last weekend, all the information about Queens’ burgeoning art scene can be found on the new QAX app for 4G phones . Download it at www.queensartexpress.com.

On the QAX app, you’ll find great discounts like a free glass of wine or 10% off your meal at participating restaurants like Sanfords, The Astor Room, and more. These deals last until mid-August, so download the app, go see some art, and enjoy a great meal – it’s all here for you to enjoy.
