Long Island City, also known as L.I.C. is the largest neighborhood in Queens and has the highest concentration of art galleries, art institutions and studio space of any neighborhood in New York City. The neighborhood is bound by Astoria, the East River, Hazen Street, 31st Street, the New Calvary Cemetery and Newton Creek.

Created in 1870 from the merger of the Village of Astoria in Newton Township. L.I.C. was a separate city until 1898 when it became part of the City of Greater New York.

Once home to many factories, Long Island City is now converted to many studio spaces including the Silvercup Studios in the old Silvercup bakery, where The Sopranos was filmed. Artist Isamu Noguchi converted a photo engraving plant into a workshop and museum to showcase his work.

Long Island City is home to 5 Pointz, a building housing artist’ studios which have been legally painted on by a number of graffiti artists. Aerosol artists from around the world come to this 200,000 square foot factory building to paint on the housing development the Crane Street Studios. The complex was established as the Phun Phactory in 1993 under a program called Graffiti Terminators that discouraged graffiti vandalism by encouraging artists to display their work in a formal showcase.

The Museum of Modern Art opened an extension at P.S. 1 just around the corner from 5 Pointz. MoMA PS 1is one of the oldest and largest nonprofit contemporary art institutions in the United States. PS 1 is dedicated to displaying the most experimental art in the world. MoMA PS 1 presents over 50 exhibitions each year, including artists’ retrospectives, site-specific installations, historical surveys, arts from across the United States and a full schedule of music and performance programming.

Court House Square, the Sculpture Center, Hunter’s Point South and the Water Taxi Beach are just a few of the many sites to see in Long Island City.
