Cultural Arts Center, Museum and art education center in downtown Columbus, United States
The Cultural Arts Center is a museum and art education facility in downtown Columbus featuring two gallery spaces that display work by Ohio-based artists. The building includes dedicated studios for ceramics, metalsmithing, and painting instruction.
The center was established in 1976 and has served as a public art education facility in Columbus ever since. Over the decades, it became an important resource for adults seeking to explore and develop their artistic abilities.
The galleries feature monthly exhibitions from regional artists, serving as a platform for both established and emerging creators to share their work with the public. The space reflects the tastes and talents of the local art community.
The center is located in downtown Columbus and offers art classes Monday through Saturday with extended evening hours on weekdays. Free admission to the gallery spaces allows visitors to explore current exhibitions without paying an entrance fee.
The center has hosted regular discussion sessions called Conversations & Coffee for over 35 years, representing one of the longest-running art talk series in Columbus. These gatherings give visitors and artists a chance to exchange ideas about art topics and current exhibitions.
