Community Engagement: Through collaborations, co-presentations, and partnerships, the Museum engages with local residents, local businesses, and community organizations on year-round diverse programming. Community engagement is vital to the Museum’s mission of creating a more equitable, inclusive museum experience.

Community Partners: Since 2014, the Museum has co-developed and presented over 100 programs for individuals and families from local immigrant communities and area residents. In 2018, the Museum initiated a community partnership program to work closely with several partners over the course of a year to co-develop programming and new museum experiences that resonate with the diverse communities of Queens.

Neighborhood Council: In 2018, the Museum created a Neighborhood Council of local residents and representatives of community serving organizations. The council provides support in the development of new programs, and represents new voices in the decision-making processes of the museum. The forming of a neighborhood council is a direct result from the Cultural Plan workshops and community discussions held in 2017 at the Museum, and serves to continue bringing together residents and organizers with other local cultural stakeholders from community-based organizations and cultural sites.

Program X: Cultural Activism and Media: Program X: Cultural Activism and Media is an annual documentary film workshop and event where we reflect on the intersections of culture, activism, and media.
