New Year, New Website and Endless Inspiration at NCMA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Designed with you in mind, NCMA’s new website is more modern, intuitive, and engaging, making it easier than ever to explore everything NCMA has to offer.

As you begin 2026, we invite you to start the year with art. Visit the museum and explore what’s ahead, including special upcoming events like our multifaceted Lunar New Year Celebration on January 31 and the magical Valentine’s Evening Benefit Concert with Jimmy Webb on February 14.

Discover our art classes and family programs at the Manes Art Education Center, which offers something for everyone — from Wheel Throwing and Printmaking to Family Saturdays, and many more creative opportunities for all ages, skill levels, and abilities.

We hope you’ll take a moment to explore the new website and our full calendar of events — and then come experience it all in person.

Here’s to a year filled with creativity, discovery, and inspiration. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

ON VIEW NOW

NCMA invites visitors into a world where reality is uncertain, dreams take shape, and the line between fact and imagination disappears. From dreamlike landscapes and uncanny portraits to images so exact they look like photographs, these works challenge what we see and what we believe.

On view through March 8, 2026, Real, Surreal, and Photoreal features 125 works from 80 American and European artists.

“These artists have documented the visual specifics of everyday life with unforgettable images,” stated chief curator Franklin Hill Perrell, “While their motives and results differ widely, their works communicate a poignant commentary on the times, delivering insight and understanding into the world around us.”
