CAMDEN ARTS CENTRE
Go there and contact
The Camden Arts Centre is not only an exhibition venue for contemporary art, but also a place for initiation and discovery. Since it was founded in 1965, the mission of this art center has been to engage the local community in a genuine artistic process, by offering a wide range of courses and workshops. In addition to the gallery spaces, the building includes studios that schools can use free of charge, where people of all ages can learn techniques such as ceramics, painting, drawing and writing... Exhibitions, residencies, educational projects and public events are also organized here. Over the past 25 years, the Centre has introduced London audiences to many important international artists, including Karin "Mamma" Andersson, Mary Heilmann, Hilma af Klint, Kerry James Marshall and Kara Walker. Their exhibitions at the Camden Arts Centre have sometimes been the first of their kind in the UK. The exhibitions feature emerging artists as well as internationally recognized names, and tell the story of contemporary art. Workshops, debates and meetings enable the public to participate in and reflect on the artists' creative processes. A specialized bookshop is also on site, as well as a café and garden open all year round. A must-see - and lesser-known - venue for visitors interested in contemporary art and the next names to watch.
