關於TCAC
台北當代藝術中心 (TCAC) 成立於2010年2月，為一群當代藝術家、策展人、學者及文化工作者所獨立籌設的藝術空間，以協會的組織型態成立，是藝術圈自我發表、互動、國際交流的平台及實體空間，也是台灣當代藝術社群關心、研究、討論社會政治議題、文化政策、美學立場的公共領域。
TCAC鼓勵多元而具有實驗性、邊緣性與批判性的藝術創作，積極關注與回應各種公共文化政策。營運近三年至今，對外共舉辦133場展覽、演講、論壇、表演等項目，其中國際性展演共佔三分之二以上。國際知名機構館長、策展人與藝術家的引介與聚會等亦近百場，以民間力量促成台北與專業國際藝壇的緊密交流。
TCAC以協會模式運作，現共有67位會員，並由3位常務理事及1位辦公室主任組成之營運小組執行中心內各項常態運作，同時培訓實習生與來自各學科的志工百餘人，大量提供青年人實際參與藝術機制各個環節中活動生發的機會。
檔案室：TCAC的檔案室計畫，收集建置台灣當代藝術圈中重要且活躍的藝術家、策展人、藝評家與理論家的個人檔案資料，並提供後端的服務機制，一方面協助個人專業資料的整理與呈現，另也為前來研究台灣當代藝術的國內外策展人、藝評家、學者、收藏家，提供介紹、說明、聯繫與溝通（包括翻譯）等無償之協助。
展覽：代表性展覽包含2010《台灣當代藝術論壇雙年展》、2011《流感疲勞 video screening》、2011《孫懿柔”美術館是平的”裝置影像文件展 》、2011《海市蜃樓-台灣閒置公共設施展》、2011《Local to Local釜山在台北》、2012《未來事件交易所》等，兩年共計16場展覽。
2011藝術村專案：邀請國際知名藝術家、策展人進駐與演講，並與竹圍工作站共同舉辦青年策展人培力專案《即時策展》，讓有志成為策展人之青年能課程中直接與國際策展人交流，並遴選補助三個青年策展人之專案使其計畫具體實現。
藝術家沙龍：邀請藝評人、策展人以虛擬主題策展方式邀請台灣年輕藝術家發表其長期作品及創作理念，並與策展人、藝評人深入互動交流。沙龍座談提供了一個開放性的場域，讓年輕的創作者彼此討論其現下關注的議題，美學精神，創作方式，並藉此機會得到策展人與藝評的當下反饋。
星期五酒吧：每週五晚上邀請國內外不同領域的創作或評論者，自行設計規劃並「主持」一晚的節目，活動包括音樂、影像放映，詩文朗誦或表演的各種藝術或非藝術形式，成為台灣之跨領域、跨學科之重要展演平台。

Run as an association, TCAC currently has 67 members, three board members and an operating team led by one manager responsible for all operations. At the same time, it also provides opportunities for interns and volunteers to participate themselves in the working of an arts establishment.
TCAC Database: This Database builds and updates profiles of Taiwanese artists, curators, critics and theorists. In doing so, TCAC serves as a venue to present them to the world. It also provides assistances such as communications and translations for internationals who are interested in contemporary Taiwanese art.
