Situated in the oldest and most historic block of the College, Gallery NCA consists of two large rooms with their original skylights and plaster friezes bordering the walls. Established in 1993 the gallery aims to build up its own Permanent Collection of works by Pakistani painters, sculptors, designers and printmakers, besides hosting visiting exhibitions of the most representative work of artists, designers and architects from home and abroad.
One of the purposes of establishing Gallery NCA within the premises of the College is to make readily available to students the best examples of Pakistani art in order to inculcate in them the discipline of critical evaluation. This is also meant to enhance their experience of viewing images and to develop in them the habit of regularly visiting and viewing art displays.
