The NCA+D promotes awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the ways architecture and design influence the built environment and enhance our quality of life.
Nashville Center for Architecture and Design (NCA+D) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to educating the Nashville community on the importance of design. The center promotes awareness, understanding, and appreciation of architecture and urban design, aiming to foster a deeper connection to the built environment. To support its vision, NCA+D is actively seeking corporate funding.
Join us in achieving this bold and audacious vision. As a new organization, we are also seeking dedicated board members and essential corporate funding. Together, we can build momentum and establish a home here in Nashville that will become the central hub for NCA+D’s educational and civic programming.

together
Nashville’s stature has skyrocketed in the past 50 years, eclipsing peer cities in the South and entering a new sphere of influence as a world-class city — never has the role of design been so critical.
In major cities throughout the U.S. — Chicago, D.C., New York, and many others — you’ll find dedicated centers for architecture and design. This is because great cities invest in design. They know it shapes their identity, their economy, and their community. With the launch of NCA+D, we’re proud to put Nashville on that list with peer cities.
Together, we can create a lasting organization that celebrates the transformative power of architecture and design.

Joining the board is your opportunity to guide the NCA+D as we launch our efforts to secure early funding, plan our educational programming, and secure a dedicated space. As a founder, you’ll play a critical role in driving our mission forward.
Let’s ensure Nashville grows with purpose, not just momentum. A city of our stature deserves a center dedicated to architecture and design — one that sparks creativity, fuels innovation, and elevates the public conversation.
NCA+D will serve as that spark for innovation, providing a platform for meaningful dialogue and a hub for cultivating the designers, architects, and community leaders of tomorrow.
But it won’t happen without you. Your support will lay the foundation for a beautiful, connected, and more sustainable Nashville — one where design is not an afterthought, but a driving force.
