Now in its seventh year, the 2021 Queens Borough Arts Festival showcases performing and visual art work from students throughout the borough of Queens in grades PreK - 12. Due to COVID-19, we've created a virtual festival to showcase the talents of our students in Queens districts 24-30 and 75.
"Congratulations to our talented student visual artists and performers for the exemplary work they have accomplished during such a challenging year. I would also like to extend my gratitude to their talented teachers, families, and committed school leaders for their continued support of rigorous arts programming in their schools.
I applaud the artistic accomplishments of all our students across the city and look forward to making a continuous, rigorous, inclusive arts education a reality for all New York City public school students."
