Camden Arts Centre, North London

The Camden Arts Centre is situated in a grade II listed building and is the largest arts centre venue in North London. Since 1967 it has run courses for artists, and also showed artworks.

Initially the exhibitions in the larger galleries were the responsibility of the Arkwright Arts Trust, and these were often ambitious and of well-known artists. This aspect of the centre moved away, along with most of the local artists who had frequented the Centre, to become the Hampstead School of Art in 1992.

The original venue was reopened in 2004 as an Arts Council arts centre, after a £4.2 million makeover, which still focuses on the visual arts.
