"Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts (FCCA) is a revitalizing force for its community, and a creative catalyst for developing and promoting the arts throughout the Borough of Queens in New York City. Each year, FCCA presents an array of high quality arts and educational programs at Flushing Town Hall (which it operates on behalf of the City of New York), as well as providing vital services to local artists, arts organizations and community residents."Currently they have a student art exhibit in their gallery until June 14th and will be hosting the Queens Jazz Orchestra on May 29th. You can also take a trolley ride through neighborhoods where Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and John Coltrane lived. I also recommend going to the Asian market right next to the FCCA building for some grocery shopping while you are there (great prices and fresh food). Don't forget to stop buy the gift shop for your Temporal Millionaire goodies though. I'm one of about 20 Queens and Long Island based artists. It's a really nice assortment of handmade goods. A big thanks to Ellen, the director, for reaching out to community artists and giving us a great place to showcase our work.

Yes, yes it's true! Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts has invited me to share my little world with Queens. I couldn't have been more happy to join the fun. Here is a little more information about FCCA:

Good to hear from you Gabi. I'm glad Ferny has already gotten out on the town. I wanted to get to Coney Island this summer with my little guy, but just never found the time.
As for heading to Brooklyn, i've been debating a trip in tomorrow with the boy for craft night at the etsy labs. They're having a band play at 6 and i can't pass up free live music. Let me know if you'll be around otherwise we'll catch up with you guys another time.
