Its lease was previously due to expire in 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe Camden Art Centre has a record of mounting a forward-thinking program. The center staged a Hilma af Klint show in 2006, more than a decade before the Guggenheim Museum put on its record-breaking retrospective for her, and Jesse Darling received his 2023 Turner Prize win for his show at the Camden Art Centre.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tRelated Articles<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2208854307.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2208854307.jpg\" alt=\"A screen beneath a graph with a declining line.\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"\" width=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn recent years, the center has also done exhibitions for closely watched artists such as Allison Katz, a painter who went on to appear in the Venice Biennale; Julien Creuzet, who later represented France at the Biennale; and Mohammed Sami, who is currently nominated for the Turner Prize, the UK\u2019s top art prize.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tMartin Clark, deputy director of the Camden Art Centre, led the effort to obtain the 99-year lease with Guy Halamish, the centre\u2019s board chair. Per the center, artists ranging from Kara Walker to Alvaro Barrington contributed to the \u00a31.9 million raised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn a statement, Clark said, \u201cThis is an extraordinary achievement for the charity and provides much-needed financial resilience, following significant recent cuts to our public funding. On the occasion of our 60th anniversary, I can think of no better way to both celebrate our past and look with confidence to our future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Camden Art Centre, a venerable London art space, appears to be staying put for the long term.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,59650,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-136334","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-camden-art-centre","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114580704974506102","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
