A must-read for anyone interested in
the intersection of the creative and manufacturing sectors,
this ground-breaking book defines Long Island
City's hybrid character as a springboard for
neighborhood development.
Richly illustrated and graphically
inventive,
Long Island City: Connecting the Arts outlines specific signage, information,
transportation, and outreach strategies
that can be used by arts organizations,
businesses, and community members—in Long Island City and elsewhere—to
promote and develop a compelling mix
of art and industry.
To strengthen Long Island
City’s identity as a unique destination for the arts, the Design
Trust for Public Space undertook the
Connecting
the Arts project in partnership
with the Long Island City Cultural Alliance,
a consortium of the area’s
cultural groups. A rich understanding
of the area’s history,
as well as current development plans,
provide the basis for pioneering strategies
to connect the arts with Long Island
City.
