Join us for an inside look at the Queens Cultural Mapping Report, a deep dive into the arts and culture ecosystem of the World’s Borough.
Attendees will learn how this year-long initiative serves as a first step toward advancing arts and culture in Queens and hear what’s next for the Cultural Mapping Initiative.
Our panel discussion will be moderated by Natalie Bedon, Project Manager, Queens Cultural Mapping Initiative and will include four cultural leaders from across Queens who are reimagining how arts and culture are created and sustained: Aydon Gabourel (Laru Beya Collective), Amy Simon (Allure Art Academy), Rejin Leys (Southeast Queens Artists Alliance), and Paula Ortiz (Centro Cultural Barco de Papel).
Panelists will share what inspires their work, the realities they navigate, and their visions for the future of the borough’s creative landscape. Audience members will have a chance to ask questions and end the evening with a mixer.
Drinks and light refreshments will be available.
