Join us for the opening reception of The World’s Borough Art Exhibition at Flushing Town Hall. There will be a private opening reception for Flushing Town Hall members one hour before the exhibition is open to the public.
This vibrant exhibition showcases a diverse collection of artwork that captures the multicultural spirit and rich history of Queens, a borough celebrated for its distinctive neighborhoods and global influence.
This year, we expanded our open call beyond Queens, inviting artists from across New York City to participate. As a result, the exhibition features an exciting mix of paintings, drawings, photographs, and mixed media from both Queens-based and NYC artists. Together, these works honor the legacy of Queens and the people who continue to shape its ever-evolving story. Each piece reflects the creative energy and cultural diversity that have earned Queens the title The World’s Borough.
Queens is already renowned for its food, languages, and rich cultural tapestry. However, this exhibition re-illuminates the borough as a thriving hub for the arts, showcasing the incredible talent and creativity that continues to grow here. Through visual art, we shine a spotlight on Queens’ flourishing art scene and its role as a center of artistic expression. From the flavors of local cuisine to the sounds of street life and the iconic landmarks that define the area, this exhibition offers a unique perspective on what makes Queens such an inspiring and exceptional place—through the lens of visual art.
We invite you to embark on this visual journey through one of the most diverse regions on earth, as we celebrate its neighborhoods, history, and the people who call it home.
