With its soaring ceilings and innovative use of metal and wood accents, the interior is undeniably impressive.

But what truly makes a visit worthwhile are the ever-changing exhibitions, featuring works by both local and international artists. The center offers a diverse calendar of events, including theatrical performances, skits, dance showcases, and concerts. Whether your passion lies in the realms of art, theater, music, dance, photography, video, or sculpture, the CAC has something to cater to your interests.

Inside, you'll find two theaters that host a wide range of performances, from jazz and film screenings to dance shows, plays, lectures, and both experimental and traditional concerts. They even have a dedicated New Orleans music series. For more information on upcoming events and exhibitions, be sure to visit their website.
