PUBLIC ART FOR THE CIVIC GOOD

OUR MISSION

PARADE collaborates with artists and the people of Queens to launch large scale public art.  We value public art that sparks civic engagement and bridges gaps in the public discourse. Our projects, like our name, celebrate inclusion, compassion and action.

WHAT IS CIVICALLY ENGAGED PUBLIC ART?

PARADE supports art made by the people of Queens for the people of Queens. This can take the form of park performances, theatre productions, marches, photography, public talks and all participatory forms of art.

We don’t commission monuments and statues.
