With the recent,
temporary relocation of The
Museum of Modern Art to an old staple factory in Queens,
and the presence of the Sculpture
Center nearby, this borough is becoming an attractive place
for artists and artistic venues. The decentralization of the
arts from Manhattan was an inevitable happening, with the cost
of living on the island outweighing the means of many artists
and their institutions. P.S.1's summer programs help to make
their location that much more appealing as a destination for
art, as well as a place to enjoy New York in the warm months.
