Free Fruits for All

Free Fruits for All is a free public event hosted by Harley Spiller about less common seasonal fruits. The artist Harley Spiller aka Inspector Collector will share information and samples of high-quality fruits that are less commonly known - such as Cacao, Longan, Loquat, Mangosteen, Passion Fruit, Rambutan, Wong Pei, et. al. The artist will set up on the sidewalk in front of Glow Community Center / 133-29 41st Avenue, Flushing, and share with passersby his collections of multilingual books about fruit, fruit paring devices, and samples of tropical fruits. Free Fruits for All will be presented in English with hand-written translations in Cantonese, Fujianese, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, and Spanish.

This project is a part of the What Can We Do? micro grant program, presented by Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) and is supported by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Special thanks to Council Members Christopher Marte and Sandra Ung.
