The Queens Cultural Map

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

About the Project

Flushing Town Hall has been invited by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), to spearhead a new initiative to create a Queens Cultural Map, documenting the borough's artistic landscape.  Our goal is to highlight their rich cultural contributions while addressing the challenges these communities face.  

FTH’s Arts Services Team launched The Queens Cultural Mapping Project in May 2024. Since then, our Community Coordinators have conducted one-on-one interviews with over 150 artists and arts and culture organizations in Queens with the goal to gather collective stories and understand the challenges shaping the borough’s arts and culture landscape.  
 

What’s Ahead? 

This project will culminate in a report to be submitted to the New York State Council on the Arts in June 2025. Additionally, our team will launch a digital map that will visually represent arts and culture organizations across the borough.
