    Descrição

    Founded in 1972, the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) is a multidisciplinary urban arts center based in Southeast Queens. Our mission is to offer quality visual and performing arts programs, and to provide accessible education programs to encourage participation in the arts. We operate two landmark buildings: the Jamaica Arts Center, with five floors of galleries, artist studios, rehearsal spaces, flexible spaces, a studio theater and office space; and the Jamaica Performing Arts Center, a 400-seat, flexible proscenium theater with offices and other spaces. In June 2024, JCAL adopted a new five-year Strategic Plan that establishes the following core goals:

    • Activate JCAL as a creative home for Queens and a singular cultural anchor for New York City.
    • Deliver a balanced continuum of programs that “super-serves” artists, learners, and audiences.
    • Build brand and reach via simple, memorable, consistent messaging amplified through deep community partnerships.
    • Engage, empower, resource, and equip the whole of the organization for the purpose of revenue generation.
    • Promote shared responsibility and leadership at every level of the organization.
