Film

The films we show promote diversity, represent the communities we serve, complement the Museum’s exhibitions and collection, and inspire, encourage dialogue, and promote a sense of belonging.

Outdoor concerts, live dance performances, jazz series, lectures, and chamber music recitals are just a few of the exciting events the NCMA offers throughout the year.
