About the event
We've won more grants to bring back the Galore VR Art Tour in 2024!!! "Art & Tech in a Virtual World"
Explore virtual reality through art. We're painting in the metaverse then putting that painting in an online vr gallery that is accessible from your phone!
For this year's tour, we are supported by: Flushing Town Hall, New York Foundation for the Arts, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Afrikan Poetry Theatre, Queens Borough Presidents Office, GameStation Inc., and the BlaQue Resource Network.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program,
a program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy
Hochul and the New York State Legislature and administered by Flushing Town Hall.
We're also excited to share that Galore Urban Tech is a 2024 Queens Arts Fund grant recipient! We're proud to represent the borough of Queens, and to bring our VR Art Tour back to Queens neighborhoods in July and August.
The Queens Arts Fund offers project grants to Queens-based artists, artist collectives, and small non-profit organizations of all artistic disciplines to support the local production of artwork and cultural programs that highlight, engage, and bolster the borough of Queens. It is administered by New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) in partnership with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA). Please click here for the full award announcement.
