As reported on the NCSM social media, its exhibition activities at 3 Nekrasava Street will cease on June 22, 2026. Details are promised to be provided later.
The National Center for Contemporary Arts was established in 2015 by merging two previous institutions: the Creative Workshops "Center for Contemporary Arts" and the state institution "Museum of Contemporary Fine Art." During its existence, it became an important platform for contemporary art in Belarus.
The center supported experimental projects in fine, theatrical, and musical arts, worked with young artists and curators, and participated in international projects, including the organization of Belarus's national pavilions at the Venice Biennale and other major art events.
