Queens Museum

"In Shadows We Bloom" is currently on view ✨ The exhibition features a collaborative work created by participants of : Open Studios, beginning as individual pieces that come together as a communal whole.

Using the metaphor of a window, each participant created a work reflecting their unique perspective. Inspired by the Tiffany exhibition, the process incorporated shadow and light through projection and tracing. These windows, a few of which are featured here, were brought together on a larger surface, forming a unified composition that honors individual viewpoints while reflecting the community as a whole.

Open Studio Participants: Sarah Beth, Tiffany, Marina, Maggie Safuto, David Angus, Nicholas Cusack, Joilyn Ventura, Christopher Jean Baptiste, and Friends

Teaching Artists: Serafina Musumeci, Michelle Melo, and Jacob Hicks

Art Access: Open Studios is a monthly arts-based workshop that invites children, teens, and adults with disabilities—and their families—to come together in an explorative and creative environment. Each session features a unique art activity and has a focus on process, connection, and self-expression.
