Contemporary Arts Center

The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) aims to provide critical reflection and interpretation of today's culture, challenge conventional wisdom and experience, encourage social engagement, preserve cultural history, and create experiences for connecting with others. The CAC produces a range of educational programs that aid our visitors in exploring and engaging with our exhibitions. These reach more than 19,000 individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including roughly 3,000 underserved Cincinnati teens. Educational programs for students and teachers feature content aligned with state and national academic standards. Other programs are designed for homeschooled children, teens, adult learners, and seniors experiencing memory loss. Additionally, the CAC's Creativity Center is an interactive art gallery and hands-on art-making space that serves communities of all incomes and backgrounds across Greater Cincinnati.

The CAC operates a retail store & caf. CAC also offers options for venue rentals.
