In the summer of 2024, NCC will once again turn its exhibition spotlight on our incredibly talented members (comprising students, educators, professional artists, and novices) with a panel-curated exhibition. Membership is the only requirement for application.

This year, NCC will have a panel-curated in-person exhibition in each gallery featuring work by selected member-artists. All submitted work will be included in an online exhibition featured on NCC’s website regardless of whether it is chosen for display in the galleries.
