Backlot Festival 2019

Ongoing

Location: Kaufman Courtyard

Join MoMI and neighbors at the Backlot Festival, a day of art, music, and community ranging over the whole of the Kaufman Arts District. With unique performances, musical guests, street art, fun-filled activities, food, drink and more, the Backlot Festival promises to be a great day in Astoria!

The Museum is participating in two events:
3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Putt Putt Pitch with Freestyle Arts and Material for the Arts, featuring four custom-crafted mini-golf holes in the Museum’s Kaufman Courtyard.  
2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Moving Image Workshop with The Blue Bus Project

The Blue Bus Project will host moving image workshops for children and adults to learn how to create video art shorts, in collaboration with media educators from the MoMI. Find the Bus on the Backlot.
