National Centre for Craft and Design
The National Centre for Craft & Design incorporating artsNK sits at the heart of the market town of Sleaford, Lincolnshire in the beautiful riverside setting of Navigation Wharf. It is the largest venue in England entirely dedicated to the exhibition, celebration and promotion of contemporary and international craft and design. We offer a seasonal programme of dynamic exhibitions ranging from international artists to innovative new work created by local and regional artists shown across our diverse gallery spaces.
We also initiate and support visual and performing arts projects across the North Kesteven district, Lincolnshire and the East Midlands, providing high quality, meaningful arts experiences for people to take part in and enjoy.
Open every day from 10am to 5pm except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
