Cultural Map of Queens

Funded by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) 

About the Project
In collaboration with NYSCA, Flushing Town Hall has begun a new initiative: the Cultural Map of Queens.   

This project aims to showcase and celebrate the rich culture and arts throughout Queens while strengthening existing networks and fostering new connections between creative communities in the borough. The project will delve into the unique cultural landscape of various neighborhoods, identifying key arts and cultural communities and organizations and assessing their impact and needs.  

Through a series of interviews with artists, community members and cultural leaders, the project will gather valuable insights into what local communities seek from arts services and how they engage with the arts. With the goal of enhancing the visibility of Queens' artistic communities, this initiative will promote greater collaboration and support the growth and sustainability of the borough's vibrant cultural fabric. 

The project will culminate in a digital map and written report on the arts and culture sector in Queens, offering community solutions and recommendations for new strategies to strengthen the sector.
