The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) is a public institution in Raleigh, North Carolina that houses the first state-sponsored art collection in the United States. Its mission centers on making the arts accessible to all, through a permanent collection that spans more than 5,000 years of art history, rotating exhibitions, performances, classes, lectures, films, and family programs. The museum serves as a cultural resource for residents of North Carolina and the broader nation, engaging audiences via in-gallery experiences, outreach across all 100 counties, and a 164-acre Museum Park that integrates site-specific artworks with the local natural landscape. NCMA positions itself within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector as a state-backed cultural organization focused on education, creativity, and community belonging.

 Based in Raleigh, NC, and as part of the North Carolina Department of Cultural and Natural Resources, NCMA collaborates with a regional audience of visitors and learners who seek opportunities to experience, learn about, and create art in a welcoming environment. The institution maintains ongoing programming and partnerships that expand access to the arts, including initiatives like the Artist Innovation Mentorship program, and regularly highlights new curatorial and artistic appointments to support its diverse artistic offerings. A recent wave of activity includes hosting major cultural events and personnel changes that reflect its ongoing commitment to programming and public engagement within the state.
