Street Works Gatherings

We’re gathering artist-centered and neighbor-led actions in Queens, with a focus on Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Corona. We hold space for what our neighbors say they want this group to offer: like vital needs drives, civic education, community-led mental wellness, time/support to build leadership, and co-skill-building. This is neighbor-led. If you have an idea and you want see it turn real, reach out. We'll add you to our mailing list, and you can reply to our emails from there.
