Did you know? The center was one of the first institutions in the United States dedicated to contemporary art . Unlike many art institutions, the CAC focuses on exhibiting art , not collecting.

CAC's new exhibition events are some of the best parties in the city . Good opportunity to dress snazzy and enjoy some great art . They usually have a cash bar and a DJ .
