Arts at NNC
NNC provides arts programming that fosters both individual growth and community resiliency. Our model for community engagement blends art, science and dialogue to facilitate robust, inclusive community learning that can be applied to everyday life. This art-infused approach focuses on creative self-expression and a sharing of knowledge. The process offers fresh ways to communicate, problem solve and inform personal and community values and choices. The center’s four gallery spaces host a variety of solo and group exhibits throughout the year. NNC works in partnership with regional organizations to further promote the arts within the community

Come see a shocking show about electricity. We will learn what electricity is, how we generate it at power plants and how our bodies can generate sparks of static electricity in the winter. We will also talk about how nature generates enormous electrical fields that lead to lightning. You will see our static electric generator produce up to 250,000 volts and listen to the musical tones of a singing tesla coil!

This weekend we change our clocks, shifting how we track our days. Join us at NNC to learn about one of the most mysterious aspects of our universe… time. This sphere show will cover everything from how we measure time to the fundamental laws of physics that lead to our understanding of the passage of time. Along the way we will take a tour of deep time from the formation of the earth and beyond into the distant future.
