Social Practice Queens

Social Practice Queens
(SPQ) is a unique MFA and Post-Graduate Certificate program developed by
Queens College CUNY in partnership with Queens Museum. SPQ supports the
integration of studio art with interdisciplinary research, community
collaboration, environmental justice and critical urbanism. Founded in
2010, SPQ links together the resources of an academic institution,
Queens College and the City University of New York (CUNY), and the
long-standing community-based activism of the Queens Museum and other
partnering institutions. SPQ’s goal is to initiate real-world change
through practices of care, social intervention and aesthetic
experimentation.
