The National Center for Afro-American Artists (NCAAA), founded over fifty years ago, is New England's premier institution dedicated to celebrating the artistic heritage of African-American and African diasporan cultures. Housed in the historic Abbotsford Estate in Roxbury, Boston, NCAAA serves as a platform for established and emerging artists, using art to promote social justice, community, and cultural understanding.

With a diverse collection of over 3,000 objects, NCAAA is not only a cultural and academic repository but also produces the beloved Black Nativity, a production that has become a cherished Boston tradition. As it emerges from the challenges of the pandemic, NCAAA is committed to reassessing its approach to ensure its legacy and programming remain relevant for future generations of artists, scholars, and supporters.
