There are two different buildings two blocks apart for the Jamaica Center for the Arts. This is something that should be made clear on any advertising for events at the space. We came here to see the moth and it turned out we were two blocks in the wrong direction. The space is kind of cool it has two galleries on the bottom level.Its a beautiful old building that Harkens back to a time when the neighborhood was not is overly commercial as it is now. My tip for seeing a show or spending any time at the center is to pack a lunch or eat before you get to that neighborhood because the area around Jamaica Center is Fast Food City. You feel like youre in an outdoor shopping mall.
Great classes. Affordable prices. The downside is that a couple of the instructors are late often. The rest of the staff seems very committed to their art.
I went there for a Nonprofit Seminar tonight. However I use to take dance classes there as a little girl. It offers a ton of events for the community.
Good for kids of all ages to take classes on the weekend. Lots of events take place here. Reasonable class fees. Instructors and staff are very nice.
Went for a Intern Job and was told they have one administrative assistant Job opening left that I must bring all documents and start the next day , went there was told a whole different thing ,why lie or not give me more information and its a 13 week training program for medical assistant smh Im glad I asked around before I wasted any more of my precious time , if you dont know how to do your job let someone better do it!.
Great facility for children and adults. This place offers a variety of activities such as all types of dance, arts and crafts, yoga and a host of other activities.
A true gem in Southeast Queens. The space is a very affordable community space with a gallery that supports 50 comfortably in folding chairs and an auditorium that seats 100.
Great place for developing talents in kids
Excellent cultural institution providing quality instruction in visual and performing arts.
I love to bring my kids to see different types of arts
Beautiful place to visit. Magnificent work done here. I love to stand and watch the performers streetside also.
This is truly a community center. There is something for all ages to engage in creatively and plenty of affordable programs to enjoy.

You could learn a lot
My child loves the programs at this facility. The prices are reasonable too.
Really a nice place for rehearsal spaces
JCAL is an excellent place for arts and culture serving Jamaica, Queens and the city at large. Stop by
This institution should be utilized more by the community and made more accessible to the community and at the same time speaking to the communitys tastes.

Review №9
2018-05-14Its a great place for almost all ages because of the kinds of programs they have as well as their art exhibits. They offer computer programs, an after school program for kids, summer camp for kids, dance classes for adults and kids; workshops like the ones taught by Les Twins, musical performances, festivals like The Queens International Childrens Festival in June and they rent out rehearsal space. All programs and rental space are reasonably priced.

2018-12-03Went to dance performance/recital here and I loved it. However, since I am not from NYC, I immediately paid for parking when there is an entire row of FREE parking right in front. Duh to me. Next time I know and now you know-park in front!!!!! Awesome location!!!!
