Now in its 46th year, Flushing Town Hall (FTH ) serves the NYC community as an arts council, and as an arts, culture, education, and performance space. For over four decades, our mission has been to unite our global community through the transformative power of art. Housed in a historic town hall in Flushing, a landmark built in 1862, FTH honors Queens as the home of Jazz by presenting its finest performers, while also showcasing dance, visual arts, theatre, and music from every corner of the globe. As advocates for arts equity since 1979, we platform the voices that shape our world: the local, the immigrant, the emerging, and the renowned. We believe in the power of partnership and collaboration to break down barriers and build understanding.

Heroes Model Management
Heroes Model Management was born in September 2015 from a desire to bring back talent to the forefront of Fashion amidst a climate of overcrowding. Heroes has already established itself as one of the world’s leading independent agencies.
Embracing the various strengths of the models we represent, we have focused our management on the current dynamic of Art and Commerce, and fought the notion of the ‘disposable model’. Our belief is that the new face to watch today should also have the opportunity to be the icon of tomorrow.
Heroes is not a new agency; it is a new way of managing talent, and a partner in the evolution of Fashion globally.
