The exhibit
is a multi-venue exhibition of works across all visual
media by scores of Queens artists, to be shown at galleries
and art spaces throughout the borough. Conceived by Danny
Simmons, Vice Chair, Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation,
the exhibition aspires to help end segregation within the
arts world, which often restricts artists to certain galleries
and neighborhoods on the basis of race and to help arts
communities drive cultural and economic development for
their cities.
