NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore

Set up in 2013, the centre is currently headed by Founding Director Ute Meta Bauer, who is also Professor at NTU's School of Art, Design and Media.

[2] Initially named as the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in October 2013, it became operational more than a year after Gillman Barracks officially launched on 15 September 2012.

[4][5] The centre was also credited for "rais[ing] the game" in Gillman Barracks by hosting the touring exhibition of the Guggenheim’s collection of South and Southeast Asian contemporary art in 2014, reviving flagging visitor numbers to the gallery precinct.

[8] The closure of exhibition space and residency studios was announced in March 2021 after funding from the Economic Development Board ceased.
