纽约市立大学皇后社区学院(QCC)美术馆是皇后区及周边社区一个重要的教育和文化资源。美术馆坐落在1920年建成的奥克兰大厦，历史悠久的奥克兰大厦是前奥克兰乡村俱乐部会所。近年来，美术馆收集了各种不同的艺术作品作为永久收藏，为大学和周边社区的教育和文化注入了新的活力。

　　自1966年以来，QCC美术馆一直是学院教育计划不可分割的一个组成部分。QCC美术馆是由视觉艺术和摄影学院首任主席培瓦·比·格罗斯(Priva B.Gross)博士创立的。

　　1981年10月25日，经过五年的规划，美术馆在校园最古老的历史悠久的永久性建筑物奥克兰大厦，首次向公众开放展览。奥克兰大厦从此成为永久性美术馆功能的建筑物。

　　2004年10月24日，QCC美术馆重新开放后又一次大规模的改造，项目改造是由比蒂(Beatty)建筑公司、哈维(Harvey)建筑事务所指导，由马可·马尔泰利(Marco Martelli)事务所执行。他们使用国家最先进的设施维护原有的建筑面貌。

　　2011年，QCC美术馆通过举办“张温帙二元性系列当代雕塑作品展”的契机，建立了与广州美术学院的文化交流。这次合作促成了艺术家张温帙将35件“新人类”当代雕塑作品，捐赠给QCC美术馆永久收藏，美术馆将“张温帙雕塑园”刻入铭牌永久纪念。“张温帙雕塑园”将在2015年六月正式向公众开放。

　　The QCC Art Gallery of the City University of New York is a vital educational and cultural resource for the Queensborough Community College, the Borough of Queens and the surrounding communities. The Gallery is housed in the historic 1920's Oakland Building, formerly the Club House for the Oakland Country Club. Throughout the years, the Gallery has collected a diverse Permanent Collection, and reaches out to contribute to the educational and cultural vitality of the College and surrounding community.

　　Since 1966, the QCC Art Gallery has been an integral part of the College's educational program. The QCC Art Gallery was founded by the vision of Dr. Priva B. Gross, first Chairman of the College's Department of Art and Photography.

　　On October 25, 1981, after five years of planning, the Gallery opened to the public with its first exhibit in its present facility, the historic Oakland Building, the oldest permanent structure on the campus. The design for the gallery was generated through a student competition, in a design class in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology and Design Drafting.

　　On October 24, 2004, the QCC Art Gallery reopened once again following an extensive renovation project, which was guided by the architectural firm Beatty, Harvey and Associates, and implemented by Marco Martelli and Associates. The resulting state-of-the-art facility maintains the original architectural elements of the building.

　　In 2011, the QCC art Gallery established a cultural exchange in conjunction with Guang Zhou Academy of Fine Arts, China, through the exhibition “Duality” – a series of sculpture by artist Wenzhi Zhang. This collaboration resulted in the donation of 35 sculptures by the artist to the QCC Art Gallery.The body of work is known as “New Mankind” and will be the basis for the permanent display for the“Wenzhi Zhang Sculpture Garden” that will formally open to the public in June of 2015.
