NN Contemporary Art (NNCA) is an independent contemporary art space in the centre of Northampton. It started in 2003 when a group of artists and practitioners came together to form Northampton Arts Collective (NAC). They were united by the common goal to elevate contemporary art within Northamptonshire. At NNCA we believe that international art and culture should be accessible to all. Over the last few years, we have worked with schools, community groups and regional partners to deliver innovative exhibitions, educational events and projects that are free to all. We work with artists at all stages of their careers; from students to Venice Biennale award winners.
