Students are encouraged to develop real-world projects to serve as long-term practicums reflecting the ideas, theories and methodologies they encounter across their various SPQ seminars.
Student-led and Faculty-led projects have been developed in tandem with partnering organizations including the Queens Museum’s ongoing community-based initiatives, giving students access to the formidable expertise, resources, and networks of community organizers, local residents, and arts administrators.
CURRENT ACTION ART
There are typically four-to-five student-led collaborative projects developed each semester. Our primary initiative, ACTION ART, posits an artistic approach to activism—seeking to translate political and aesthetic ideas into tangible outcomes with the goal of making a positive social impact in the communities that we live, learn, and work.
ACTION ART projects are supported by in part by grants from The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation and the Vilcek Foundation.
