Guess what? No, YOU Tell It! has received not one but TWO grants from Flushing Town Hall in support of our Queens programming – the 2025 GO Queens Grant and the Queens Community Arts Grant!
With the support of these grants, we are partnering with the Greater Astoria Historical Society and Queens Memory to produce writing workshops and shows where community participants and NYTI storytellers can engage with Queens history to inspire and experience each other’s true tales.
Register here for our May 3 “My Place in Queens” free workshop at the Queens Public Library at Broadway in Astoria.
No, YOU Tell It! is one of 25 Queens-based performing arts and culture organizations that received the GO Queens Grant to support our mission and work in the Queens community.
The Queens Community Arts Grant supports Queens-based community organizations, groups, and collectives to hold arts and cultural projects or activities for the public in Queens to enhance the cultural climate in communities and neighborhoods where they live and operate – to make the arts accessible to all.
Check out the other 2025 grantees here.
This grant will directly support our May 3 “My Place in Queens” free writing workshop and May 28 “My Place” show produced in partnership with the Greater Astoria Historical Society and Queens Memory.
At the May 3 workshop, the four No, YOU Tell It! “My Place” storytellers and community participants will use writing prompts to interact with Queens Name Explorer, an interactive digital map developed by Queens Memory.
Together, we will learn the historical significance behind the people’s names that grace Queens streets, parks, monuments, and more, while the storytellers generate ideas for the true tales they will trade on stage at the May 28 show.
Huge thank you to Flushing Town Hall, and we’ll see YOU in May for the workshop and show!!
