Showcasing Young Artists at the Queens Museum with Project Ready

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, New York Art Foundation for Youth and Initially Shop joined the Project Ready foundation (启航) at Community Conversations — Fall for Health: Strong Women & Children, a community day hosted by NewYork-Presbyterian Queens at the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Together we supported young artists and children with developmental disabilities by showing their artwork, handmade pieces and art products at the event, where they received the organizations’ support and help right away. The artwork by Project Ready’s young artists, and the products and handicrafts made from it, gave everyone a chance to see these young people’s talent and potential.
