Camden Arts Centre
This community-oriented gallery, with a mandate to help new audiences engage with art and the people who make it, has become one of the city's most highly regarded exhibition spaces. Since 1965, it has nurtured and given early exposure to important artists including Martin Creed, Sophie Calle, and Yinka Shonibare, and continuing its support for emerging talent by hosting the Bloomberg New Contemporaries exhibition that features 55 of the most exciting emerging artists from art schools in the United Kingdom.
A café serves organic breakfasts, light lunches, and small plates of Italian-inspired food (plus wine, beer, and cocktails in the afternoon), with outdoor seating in the lovely garden, weather permitting. There's also a bookshop selling books by and about artists.
