Fun Facts

The building housing the Contemporary Arts Center was originally a warehouse built in 1905, showcasing a blend of historical architecture and modern art.

Unlike many art institutions, the CAC focuses on rotating exhibitions, allowing for a dynamic and ever-changing display of contemporary art.

The Contemporary Arts Center was established in 1976 by a group of artists who sought to create a space dedicated to contemporary art and performance.

This event, held every October, draws thousands of art enthusiasts to the Warehouse Arts District for gallery openings and performances.

The CAC is located in the heart of New Orleans' Warehouse Arts District, an area known for its vibrant arts scene and historic buildings.

The center provides a variety of educational initiatives, including workshops, lectures, and youth programs, to engage the community with contemporary art.
