南通市中心美術(shù)館成立于2008年5月，是南通市第一家民辦非企業(yè)美術(shù)館。

    美術(shù)館位于風光旖旎的南濠河之濱、南通城市博物館東側(cè)，緊鄰南大街商業(yè)圈中心。中心美術(shù)館是在張謇之兄張詧的城南別業(yè)基礎(chǔ)上改建而成，這里楊柳依依、碧波蕩漾，現(xiàn)代的大塊面玻璃和鋼結(jié)構(gòu)與紅磚碧瓦的晚清建筑完美融合，在綠樹掩映中更顯現(xiàn)代與時尚。

    展區(qū)面積達1400平方米，固定展線長度220米，層高3~3.5米，中庭高8米，外場占地2000余平方米，可舉辦各類大型展覽。館內(nèi)劃分有主展區(qū)、藝術(shù)書店、閱覽休息區(qū)、報告廳和辦公區(qū)五大功能區(qū)域。

    中心美術(shù)館一直致力于美術(shù)展覽、收藏研究和教育傳播工作，大力挖掘地方美術(shù)資源，促進國際間藝術(shù)交流與合作。我們力求通過規(guī)范化運營，將中心美術(shù)館打造為一個具有專業(yè)化水準、國際化視野的美術(shù)研究機構(gòu)。

    Nantong Central Art Gallery, founded in May 2008, is the first privately-owned non-profit gallery.

    The gallery is located to the east of Nantong City Museum beside the picturesque moat and within easy reach of South Street known as the busiest CBD. It is established on the basis of Chengnan Villa, which used to be owned by Zhang Cha, the third brother of Zhang Jian who was No.1 Imperial Scholar of Qing Dynasty. With weeping willows and limpid water to its south, the building is a perfect combination of modern vogue and traditional style so that both the large glass panels as well as the steel structure, the red bricks and dark tiles can be seen all together here.

    There are1400m2 of exhibition floor space with 220m of displaying length. The height of each storey is 3 to 3.5m while that of the central parlor is 8m. The outdoor area is more than 2000 m2. It is available for holding various exhibitions in fairly big size and scale. The indoor space is made up of five functional divisions, namely the Main Exhibition Hall, the Arts Book Store, the Lounge, the Conference Hall and the Office Area.

    Nantong Central Art Gallery has been always engaged in art exhibition, collection, research, education and publicity. Great effort has been made to explore local art resources and promote art exchange and cooperation between nations. We aim at turning it into an art research institution with professional standard and internationalized perspectives through standardized operation.
