The Queens Council on the Arts is a small nonprofit organization based in Astoria, Queens, founded in 1966. Its mission is to foster the arts in Queens County and to support individual artists and arts organizations in presenting cultural diversity for the community. The organization is part of the Kaufman Arts District in Astoria. It serves residents and artists by informing them about free, upcoming arts events in New York City, including music, dance, and food. The council runs several initiatives, such as an Artist Commissioning Program, ArtSite, and the ArtPort Residency, and has collaborated with entities like LaGuardia Airport and the 82nd Street Partnership. In January 2022, Queens Council on the Arts announced the appointment of Rodney Fuller as Interim Executive Director.
