There are about 100 pieces on display at the exhibit, entitled "Queens International 4."

Curator Erin Sickler says the exhibition reflects the borough's diversity.

"Artists in Queens and people in Queens feel very comfortable with culture," she says. "They feel like they can take cultural references that belong to their culture of origin or not and mix them together. And that's really exciting creatively."

"I feel like the art world needs to exist a little more in the world of pop culture," says artist Ryan Humphrey.

Artist Dominic Dipietrantonio's work mixes the world of interior design with that of street culture.

"The symbols are common shapes that are taken from graffiti and also pop culture," says the artist. "We have the graffiti clouds. We have graffiti-esque shapes, as well as common things like stars and flowers."

Another example of cultural fusion is a makeshift dance floor, combing polka and merengue. All people have to do is follow the footsteps on the floor.

A piece called The Tower of Good Will, seen above, is more than good looking; it also does good – as all of the items of clothing will be donated to Goodwill.

"This is a piece I'm doing in collaboration with Goodwill," says artist Derick Melander. "They've donated a bin which is outside of the museum. People can come and donate clothing and during the course of the exhibition we're going to create a five-by-five-foot cube of carefully folded second-hand clothing which at the end of the exhibition will be donated to Goodwill."
