Northern Centre for Contemporary Art

The Northern Centre for Contemporary Art (NCCA) was established in 1989 as a non-profit association. NCCA grew out of a long-standing desire of many individuals and organizations for a venue dedicated specifically to the promotion and support of contemporary visual art in Australia’s Northern Territory. NCCA was established to create an environment that offers artists an opportunity to experiment, explore and exhibit their work, and a space to share and collaborate with local, national and international arts communities.

NCCA remains a non-profit today, and has become the leading centre for contemporary art in the Northern Territory. Based in Darwin, the centre exhibits a wide range of contemporary visual art from the NT, Australia, and overseas.
