Now in its sixth year, the 2020 Queens Borough Arts Festival showcases performing and visual art work from students throughout the borough of Queens in grades PreK - 12. For the very first time, due to COVID-19, we have created a virtual festival to showcase the talents of our students in Queens districts 24-30 and 75.
“New York City is the arts capital of the world, and our borough arts festivals showcase the immense creativity and talent of students from across the City. These festivals bring school communities together to admire the incredible art work and performances of students from each borough and I join their proud parents in celebrating their achievements.”
