About Kupferberg Center for the Arts
Kupferberg Center for the Arts (KCA) at Queens College was created in 2006 to honor alumnus
Max Kupferberg for his $10 million gift to the College in support of the arts. KCA is charged with
marketing cultural events, developing cross-disciplinary collaborations among Queens College’s
arts units and between the arts units and off-campus partners, raising funds, and working with
an Arts Advisory Board comprised of academic and community stakeholders.
The overall mission of Kupferberg Center is to provide high quality accessible and affordable
cultural attractions to the Queens College community and the borough’s 2.2 million residents.
The largest multi-disciplinary arts entity in the borough, KCA features world-class artists and
performances at its main stage campus venues, and showcases the talents of emerging and regional
artists in off-site, neighborhood settings. A leader in the cultural renaissance of Queens, KCA
connects residents of the most ethnically diverse region of the nation to their unique cultural
heritages, showcasing these arts to a broader audience and validating the contributions each
makes to the distinct nature of our campus and community.

Community Bank, which is the title sponsor of our 2020-21 season, and the Max and Selma
