The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) has been the corner stone of the New Orleans Downtown Warehouse District. The CAC has been in the heart of the Warehouse District since 1976. It is the place to find new and exciting expression in the medium of painting, theater, music, performance art, dance, photography, video, sculpture and more in New Orleans.
The building space is 30,000 square feet and the architecture is a mix of historic New Orleans architectural features with contemporary material. The building was built in 1905 and renovated in 1990. The galleries are spacious and they have a sleek modern layout which also is true of the atrium, theaters and studios.
The CAC event programming is all year round and includes:
World-class visual arts exhibitions
These are exhibits spotlighting unique and eclectic works in all mediums by local, national and internationally renowned artists, are displayed in a 10,000+ square foot space, illuminated with natural light.Cutting edge performing arts shows
These arts shows range from urban dance theatre to legendary jazz master series to avant-garde classical and everything in between.Educational programming
These programs delight the young and young at heart with a children’s gallery, creative art workshops, summer arts camp, field trips, and a variety of lecture series and learning programs.Fabulously festive celebrations
Including two of the largest art happenings and outdoor celebrations in New Orleans, NOADA’s White Linen Night (always the first Saturday in August) and Art for Arts’ Sake (always the first Saturday in October). Plus huge parties like SweetArts and Bourbon & Burlesque add a touch of debauchery and mystery to the traditional arts benefit.
The CAC is also a wonderful venue to rent for a wide range of private and public events, for as little as 10 guests, and as high as 3,500 guests.
