NCCA – Northern Centre for Contemporary Art

NCCA (formerly 24HR Art) was established in 1989 as a non-profit association. NCCA grew out of a long-standing desire of many individuals and organisations in the Territory for a venue dedicated specifically to the promotion and support of contemporary visual art. To create an environment that offers artists an opportunity to experiment, explore and exhibit their work, a space to share and collaborate with local, national and international arts communities.

NCCA (Northern Centre for Contemporary Art) is financially assisted by the NT Government through the Department of Community Development, Sport and Cultural Affairs and the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.

Gene Sherman on collecting art, migrating to Australia and progressive politics

Known as one of Australia’s preeminent art collecting couples, South African emigres Gene and Brian Sherman’s private art collection “bears testament to our life and love as a couple”. Having collected over 900 pieces by artists including Janet Laurence and Ai Weiwei, Gene explains why some of this collection is going to auction—but amidst this is an even bigger conversation on art itself, migration, asylum seekers and posterity.
