Center for Contemporary Art, CCA Kitakyushu is a research institution for contemporary art, founded in 1997. Since then, CCA has been presenting art exhibitions and projects together with internationally renowned artists and practitioners from various fields such as architecture and science. Its function is to be a forum for communication, where artists and curators/critics and specialists from various fields can discuss over the table. The dialogue occurs with their expert knowledge in order to explore new modes of creativities and possibilities.
Commensurate with a role as a research institution, CCA’s major areas of focus is to build the library of collection on contemporary art of catalogues and audio-visual works: also, to utilize extensively the information resources available on a bidirectionally constructed network with leading institutions in the field of arts around the world.
One of the main activities has been the CCA Research Program, a studio program for young artists and curators. CCA moved to a new address in September 2015, and has since offered the CCA Fellowship Program for emerging artists, architects, and designers, where fellows are expected to be involved with a more professional approach in their own activities.
