  Louis Armstrong: A Cultural Legacy
   
  For the final 30 years of his 70-year life, jazz legend Louis Armstrong lived in Corona, Queens, less than a mile from the Queens Museum of Art. Guest curator Marc H. Miller creates "a multi-media collage in which documentary material, fine art, sound, video, and text combine to communicate Armstrong’s story along with the excitement and feel of his music". The show featured paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs by artists such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Stuart Davis, Annie Liebowitz, and Archibald Motley, Jr., and included never-before-seen collages created by Armstrong himself in the 1950’s and 60’s.
