EXHIBITIONSEXHIBITIONS ARE AT THE CENTER OF ALL PROGRAMS ORGANIZED AT THE QUEENS MUSEUM OF ART. THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT AND SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART RECEIVE WIDE ACCLAIM AND ATTRACT ATTENTION FROM A BROAD AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY. QMA HAS DISTINGUISHED ITSELF AS ONE OF THE CITY'S MOST DRAMATIC AND EXCITING PLACES TO VIEW ART, AS EVIDENCED BY REGULAR FEATURE ARTICLES IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, TIME OUT NEW YORK, ART IN AMERICA, LOCAL NEWSPAPERS IN QUEENS, AND MYRIAD NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS. WITH A VARIED EXHIBITION SCHEDULE THAT INCLUDES BOTH CRITICAL CONTEMPORARY ART PRESENTATIONS AND IMPORTANT HISTORICAL EXAMINATIONS OF SUBJECTS PERTINENT TO THE EVER-CHANGING BOROUGH, THE MUSEUM STRIVES TO PRESENT OFFERINGS THAT WILL APPEAL TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES IT SERVES.

THE SUCCESS OF QUEENS INTERNATIONAL 2002 WAS REPEATED WITH QUEENS INTERNATIONAL 2004, 2006, AND 2008, ALL OF WHICH CAPTURED THE BREADTH AND EXCITEMENT OF THE ARTISTS AND ARTISTIC VISION IN THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS.

ORGANIZATION'S MOST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES: FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1: QMA PRESENTS ARTISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITIONS THAT DIRECTLY RELATE TO THE CONTEMPORARY URBAN LIFE OF ITS CONSTITUENTS WHILE MAINTAINING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL, INTELLECTUAL, AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY. OUR VISION IS OF A HETEROGENEOUS AND NONTRADITIONAL MUSEUM-GOING AUDIENCE EMPOWERED TO APPRECIATE, PRACTICE, AND REFLECT ON ART IN THEIR DAILY LIVES AND RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES, BEYOND DISCRETE ENCOUNTERS AND BRICK-AND-MORTAR BOUNDARIES OF THIS CULTURAL INSTITUTION. OVER THE PAST DECADE, THE QMA HAS REDEDICATED ITSELF TO EXERTING THE SAME SORT OF IMAGINATION, EXPERIMENTATION, AND RESOURCES TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS WE DO TO ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. QMA HAS TWO COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS AND THREE ART THERAPISTS ON STAFF, TWENTY EDUCATORS WHO SPEAK NINE LANGUAGES AND AN EXHIBITION PROGRAM THAT CONSISTENTLY BRINGS IN ARTISTS WHO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. ADMISSION IS BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION. FREE PROGRAMMING RUNS THE GAMUT FROM LITERACY AND VISUAL ARTS EDUCATION FOR ADULT IMMIGRANTS (COURSES TAUGHT IN MANRARIN, SPANISH, KOREAN, FARSI, TURKISH, TIBETAN AND MORE!), TO CULTURAL FESTIVALS AND EXHIBITIONS ORGANIZED BY LONG-TERM COMMUNITY PARTNERS. ALL OF THIS ALLOWS NON-CONVENTIONAL AUDIENCES TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE QMA IS THEIR MUSEUM AND CULTURAL PRODUCTION IS IN THEIR HANDS. THE QMA STAFF AND BOARD IS DIVERSE AND MULTILINGUAL: PEOPLE OF COLOR COMPRISE 56% OF THE PROFESSIONAL AND PROGRAM STAFF, 63% OF THE OVERALL STAFF, AND 27% OF BOARD MEMBERS. WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS DIVERSITY HAS LED TO BETTER PROGRAMMING BECAUSE THE HORIZONS OF THE STAFF ARE CONSTANTLY WIDENING THROUGH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION. OUR VERY SETTING IN FLUSHING MEADOWS CORONA PARK, A 1255-ACRE EXPANSE THAT STANDS ROUGHLY ONE AND A HALF TIMES THE SIZE OF MANHATTAN'S CENTRAL PARK, REFLECTS OUR DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY AND THE WORLD. HOUSED IN THE HISTORIC NEW YORK CITY BUILDING, THE CITY'S OFFICIAL PAVILION DURING THE 1939 AND 1964 WORLD'S FAIRS, THE QMA'S GALLERIES OVERLOOK THE UNISPHERE, THE MONUMENTAL STEEL GLOBE THAT REMAINS BOTH A WELL-KNOWN SYMBOL OF THE 1964 WORLD'S FAIR AND AN ENDURING TRIBUTE TO INTERNATIONALISM. FROM 1946 TO 1950, OUR BUILDING WAS HOME TO THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY. WORLD HISTORIC EVENTS TOOK PLACE HERE, FROM THE PARTITION OF KOREA TO THE PARTITION OF PALESTINE. U.S. PRESIDENTS FROM HARRY S. TRUMAN TO JOHN F. KENNEDY WALKED OUR HALLS. ON PERMANENT DISPLAY AT QMA IS THE PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, A 9,335-SQUARE FOOT SCALE MODEL OF ALL FIVE NEW YORK CITY BOROUGHS BUILT BY ROBERT MOSES FOR THE 1964 WORLD'S FAIR; MEMORABILIA FROM BOTH WORLD'S FAIRS; AND TIFFANY GLASS: SELECTIONS FROM THE NEUSTADT MUSEUM OF TIFFANY ART, A DISPLAY OF DR. EGON NEUSTADT'S TIFFANY OBJECTS, ONCE FABRICATED IN CORONA, QUEENS. INHABITING A SYMBOLIC SPACE THAT REPRESENTS OUR BOROUGH, OUR CITY, AND OUR WORLD, QMA CARRIES A DEEP MEMORY OF INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE AND INTERCULTURAL UNDERSTANDING. EACH YEAR, THROUGH OUR EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS, WE SERVE ABOUT 200,000 VISITORS THROUGH ON- AND OFF-SITE PROGRAMMING. ATTENDANCE IS PRIMARILY DRAWN FROM QUEENS, THE OTHER NYC BOROUGHS, AND NASSAU COUNTY, AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL VISITORS. ABOUT A QUARTER OF ATTENDEES ARE SCHOOLCHILDREN FROM EVERY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN QUEENS. WHAT DISTINGUISHES OUR AUDIENCE FROM TYPICAL MUSEUM AUDIENCES IS ITS DIVERSITY. AS THE 2000 U.S. CENSUS NOTES, QUEENS IS THE MOST ETHNICALLY DIVERSE COUNTY IN THE NATION. THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS WHITE, 25% LATINO, 20% AFRICAN-AMERICAN, AND 18% ASIAN. APPROXIMATELY 138 LANGUAGES ARE SPOKEN IN QUEENS, AND OVER HALF OF THE HOUSEHOLDS ARE HEADED BY INDIVIDUALS BORN OUTSIDE THE U.S. NOT ONLY ARE THE VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM ETHNICALLY DIVERSE, BUT THE MUSEUM STAFF IS ALSO MULTIETHNIC AND MULTILINGUAL, WITH EIGHT DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SPOKEN BY OUR STAFF. WITHIN ALL OF THESE COMMUNITIES EXIST GREAT DIFFERENCES OF ECONOMIC STATUS, EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT, AGE, AND EXPERIENCE. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR LONGTIME COMMITMENT TO DEVISING INNOVATIVE AND INCLUSIVE STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGING SUCH A WIDE-RANGING AND NONTRADITIONAL MUSEUM-GOING AUDIENCE.
