FCCA manages and programs historic Flushing Town Hall on behalf of the City of New York.  Flushing Town Hall’s facilities include a 308-seat theater, a professional gallery, classroom, a garden that accommodates up to 200 people for outdoor events, and a gift shop that features work by Queens- and Long Island based artists. FCCA is a member of New York City’s prestigious 33-member Cultural Institution Group; and an Affiliate Member of the Smithsonian Institution.

Built in 1862 in Romanesque Revival style, the hall has served Flushing as an assembly point for Union recruits during the Civil War and as a bank, police precinct, jail, grand ballroom and courthouse. P. T. Barnum ran sideshows from the hall featuring Tom Thumb and other marvels.
