Camden Arts Centre

Camden Arts Centre in the London Borough of Camden, England, is a place for contemporary art exhibitions and education. The changing programme includes exhibitions, artist residencies, off-site projects and artist-led activities and courses.

Exhibitions feature emerging artists, international artists showing for the first time in London, historic figures who inspire contemporary practice and artist-selected group shows. Camden Arts Centre also strives to support artists in making new artworks.

Central to its programme is the artist residency programme, which aims to develop artists' practices with practical support, resulting in new work and public participation. Past residency artists include: Salvatore Arancio, David Raymond Conroy, Caroline Achaintre, Jesse Wine, Phoebe Cummings, Emma Hart, Sally O'Reilly, Francis Upritchard, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Mike Nelson, Graham Gussin, Martin Creed and Jordan Baseman.

Educational activity includes talks and discussions, film screenings and live art performances, alongside family activities, schools, projects led by artists, projects for young people and courses in ceramics, drawing, performance and art theory.

Off-site artists' projects include new commissions and performance in areas such as King's Cross, London, and in local schools and community centres.

A book shop is on site, as well as a Café and Garden.
