Corona Plaza - Center of Everywhere: Four Site-Specific Projects September 24, 2008

The Queens Museum of Art has commissioned four emerging artists to produce temporary site-specific art in Corona Plaza, just a few blocks away from the museum's home, Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The projects are part of a larger 'Heart of Corona' initiative in which the museum and community partners work towards three main objectives: to improve the health of community residents; beautify the neighborhood; and activate public spaces in the area thereby enhancing the environment for visitors, residents and merchants alike. Artists Hector Canonge, Stephanie Diamond, Shaun Leonardo and Xaviera Simmons will exhibit their work.
