The National Centre for Craft & Design (NCCD) is an arts centre in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, which holds England's largest exhibition space for craft and design.[2] It comprises space for galleries, teaching, and design workshops for designers in residence.[3][4][5][6]
The NCCD began as The Hub in 2003,[7][8] in a converted Hubbard and Phillips company seed warehouse. In 2011 it changed to The National Centre for Craft & Design, funded by North Kesteven District Council and Arts Council England.[1][9][10]
The NCCD is part of Lincolnshire One Venues (LOV), aided by Lincolnshire Arts Trust to promote, and achieve funding for, ten arts centres within Lincolnshire.[11][12]
Events
In 2011 the NCCD held an international competition for architects and artists to design beach huts for the Lincolnshire coast; entries came from North America, Europe and Asia in the form of scale models, the winning design being built full size.[13][14]
In January 2012 the Centre became a venue for an international touring exhibition, The Museum of Broken Relationships, with Croatian exhibits of personal relationship mementos.[15]
The NCCD co-curated, in collaboration with the Crafts Council and mac (Birmingham), the tri-annual Made in the Middle exhibition of contemporary design, held at the mac centre from February to April 2012.[16] The Arts Council funded Design Factory announced that Made in the Middle would visit the NCCD from April to July 2012.[17]
