The CAC is a multidisciplinary arts center that is dedicated to the presentation, production, and promotion of the art of our time. The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), a 501(c)(3) organization, was formed in the fall of 1976 by a passionate group of visual artists when the movement to tear down the walls between visual and performing arts was active nationwide. The CAC began as an artist-run, artist-driven community organization in the nearly empty arts district of New Orleans. As the burgeoning arts district grew, so did the CAC, evolving to meet the increasing needs of a diverse audience and artist communities. Renovated in 1990, and donated to the CAC in 1999, the CAC's building mixes the timelessness of New Orleans' historic architecture with contemporary materials and usable open spaces. Throughout the CAC's 40 years, the center has remained active in the visual and performing arts and arts education communities.

In fairness, the museum was busy preparing for a gala, & the center was in considerable disarray, so take this with a grain of salt. The nice thing was that there was no admission charge on the...
