Contemporary Arts Center
Contemporary Arts Center, Art museum in downtown Cincinnati, United States.
The Contemporary Arts Center occupies an 85,000-square-foot building with angular forms, constructed from black aluminum and white concrete, featuring multiple exhibition spaces across several floors.
Founded in 1939, the Contemporary Arts Center moved to its current location in 2003, becoming the first American museum building designed by architect Zaha Hadid.
The center functions as a non-collecting institution that presents temporary exhibitions of current artists, including early career showings of creators like Andy Warhol.
The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM, and during weekends from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at 44 East 6th Street.
The building incorporates an Urban Carpet design element that transforms the sidewalk into a vertical surface, guiding visitors through the exhibition spaces.
