About the Event

Join the Queens Museum for Family Day: Heart & Heritage, a joyful celebration honoring Black history, culture, and love. Families explore heritage, community, and care through hands-on artmaking inspired by ancestors, shared values, and traditions to collectively reflect on roots, connection, and legacy together.

Art Making Workshop: Heritage Heart Collages
Participants will create heart-shaped collages that represent their cultural roots, family traditions, and personal histories. Using patterned papers, fabric scraps, photos, and words, families reflect on what love looks like across generations.

Art Making Workshop: Community Love Wall
Love looks like us! Join us in creating art inspired by love and contribute to a wall that will be displayed in the museum for the day. What does love mean in your family? What does love mean to you? What do you want future generations to know about love? Write a note, leave an affirmation that you live by, and show us your definition of love.

About the Queens Museum

Founded in 1972, the Queens Museum is located in the nation’s most culturally diverse county, on the grounds of the 1939-40 and 1964-65 and New York World’s Fairs, and in a building that formerly housed the United Nations from 1946 to 1950. Browse our historical timeline and learn about the key moments that marked the history of our site.

The Queens Museum is dedicated to presenting high quality arts and educational programming for the people of New York, and particularly the residents of Queens, a uniquely diverse ethnic, cultural, and international community. The Museum’s work honors the history of our site and the diversity of our communities through a wide ranging and integrated program of exhibitions, educational initiatives, and public events.

In this current moment of uncertainty, we recognize that museums should serve as places of care; not just for their collections, but for their communities, staff, and artists. The Queens Museum strives to be a cultural institution that is open, responsive, inclusive, and empathetic.
