A Place That Moves People: Artist Walk with Matthew Jensen (Artist) and Friends

Join artist Matthew Jensen, a previous artist-in-residence in the Queens Museum/Artbuilt Studio in the Park (2015), on a unique walk through a long-abandoned rail corridor in Central Queens on April 29, 1-3pm. Get a unique opportunity to get a sneak peek through an artist’s eyes into the QueensWay, a project led by the all-volunteer Friends of the QueensWay (in partnership with The Trust for Public Land) to transform the railway into a 3.5 mile linear park and off-street pedestrian and bike trail.

About the Walk

Along the way, Jensen will discuss his experience walking the full perimeter of the proposed rail corridor Queensway using the current pedestrian pathways. The walk will call special attention to the human traces found along the railway and how these clues might inform the future design and use of the QueensWay. The walk will begin south of Forest Park and end north of the park.

Walk time: approximately 2 hours. The tour is free but a donation to the Friends is requested.
