#### Encounter some of the city’s most promising artists or see international names at this educational institution, a showcase for visual culture in the city.

Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA) is a cutting-edge arts complex in central Dundee. It is focused on the development, support and exhibition of contemporary art and culture by local residents and visiting artists. Discover two contemporary art galleries, a cinema with two screens, a print studio and a research facility at Dundee Contemporary Arts. A program of festivals, events and workshops run at DCA, so be sure to check out the current schedule during your visit to Dundee.

Stroll around the modern complex and plan your visit. Contemporary art galleries have exhibits featuring works by emerging Scottish artists and well-known international artists. Many of the exhibitions at these galleries premiere new works by the artists and are adapted for the local audience. Read through the accompanying information or chat with a gallery assistant to gain new perspectives on the artworks.

Enjoy a film screening at the DCA cinema, which is programmed by a local cinema curator. Check for special events running during your visit, such as a film education course or a trivia quiz night.

Register to become a Print Studio user to take advantage of DCA’s magnificent print, photography and digital media lab. Book a course or a personalized tutoring session to learn about the studio’s top-of-the-line equipment. The Visual Research Centre is open to the public and features a huge range of educational material about the arts.

Stop at the Jute Café Bar for coffee between exhibits or pre-screening drinks. The café and bar serve meals and drinks throughout the day and evening.

Pick up a memento of your visit at the gift shop. Select from locally designed jewelry, homewares, craft items and fascinating books and journals on contemporary culture from around the world. Limited edition prints by exhibiting artists may also be available.

Reach Dundee Contemporary Arts on Nethergate, a short distance from the city’s main train station. Local buses also stop nearby. The complex is open daily, but the galleries, studio, cinema, shop and research center have different opening times. Individual exhibitions and screenings have varied admission costs. The complex is open year-round and is wheelchair accessible.
