Mission
Queens Rising is a month-long, multi-disciplinary arts celebration created to highlight the borough’s culture and creative diversity.
Queens Rising Mission
Launch a wide-reaching marketing campaign to promote Queens arts and culture.- Amplify venues, performance companies, cultural centers, institutions, and small businesses by promoting events around the borough.
- Outreach to less visible and often overlooked institutions and organizations interested in reaching new audiences.
- Celebrate Queens with opening and closing events produced by our local partners.
- Unify neighborhoods by providing audiences with easy-to-find event and calendar listings featuring artistic cultural offerings, and other sites of interest within specific communities.
- Connect artists, venues, and businesses to provide as many opportunities as possible for arts and culture to be seen in Queens.
- Fundraise from both public and private sources, without pursuing or affecting any partners’ current or ongoing funding channels.
