Camden Arts Centre
Camden Arts Centre in the London Borough of Camden, England, is a contemporary visual art gallery, dedicated to engaging living artists from across the world. Positioning the artist at the centre of the programme, Camden Arts Centre strives to involve the public in the ideas and work of today's artists.
The exhibition and education programmes are developed with equal importance, and are continually intertwined. The changing programme includes exhibitions, artist residencies, off-site projects and artist-led activities, ensuring Camden Arts Centre remains a lively place for seeing, making and talking about contemporary art.
Activities
Camden Arts Centre aims for its audiences actively to engage with the making and process of art. The free activities represent an innovative and integrated approach to contemporary visual arts and education. The Centre holds exhibitions that feature emerging artists, international artists showing for the first time in London, significant historic figures who inspire contemporary practice, and artist-selected group shows relevant to current debate. Through residencies the Centre develops artists' practices with practical support, resulting in new work and public participation. Off-site artists' projects include new commissions and performance in strategic areas, such as King's Cross, London, and in local schools and community centres. Educational activity includes events that engage audiences in a regular series of talks and discussions, film screenings and live art performances, alongside family activities, schools and widening participation projects led by artists. During 2008/2009, Camden Arts Centre's programme featured a strong selection of artists from Britain and abroad, including specially commissioned work from, among others, Claire Barclay, Anya Gallaccio and Allen Ruppersberg. Over the course of the year Camden Arts Centre runs public events, including talks and debates, live-art performances, film screenings and family open days.
