Spanning an impressive 450,000 square feet, NMACC is not just a building—it’s a movement. Created with a mission to make art accessible to all and to spotlight India’s cultural brilliance on the global stage, the centre features multiple world-class venues designed to accommodate a range of performing and visual arts.

Inclusive, Educational, and Forward-Thinking
Accessibility is at the heart of the centre’s ethos. Entry is free for students, senior citizens, differently-abled individuals, and children. Beyond performances and exhibitions, the centre conducts art education programs, school and college visits, and inclusive art literacy campaigns aimed at nurturing creativity from the grassroots.
Celebrated Launch, Global Vision
The inauguration was a spectacle, attended by global icons from cinema, fashion, and art.

Expanding Horizons
Looking beyond borders, NMACC will soon take Indian artistry to the world. In September 2025, it will host a grand cultural weekend at New York’s Lincoln Center, featuring performances, exhibitions, and cultural exchanges, furthering its mission to take Indian art global.
