The arts and culture community came together at Queens Museum in Corona Thursday morning to launch the third annual Queens Rising celebration.
The month-long celebration of local artists and venues will kick off on June 1 with a packed calendar of events that highlight the diversity of the borough. Last year, Queens Rising partnered with 100 local organizations and promoted over 300 events throughout the month.
This year’s new initiative is “Queens Scene,” which will bring a series of performances by artists who live and work in Queens to four partner venues: Flushing Town Hall, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, the Queens Botanical Garden and Terraza 7 in Elmhurst.
