Made in Queens
The Best of the Borough.
Goods Made in Queens.
The Queens Museum of Art is thrilled to launch a new initiative via our gift shop- “Made in Queens.” In the early fall of 2010, we began an open call for artisans who lived and/or worked in the borough. After a few months of submissions and research, we’re starting to show off our hand picked artisans!
Come on by the museum shop to see these amazing hand made goods from our beloved borough. We hope to have the shop also running online within the next couple of months, but for now feel free to pay us a visit in person! (And keep your eyes and ears open for a launch party).
