⌛ C-YA Teen Council acception '24-'25 applications – Deadline is June 30!
The @cincycacteens (C-YA) program at the CAC provides a yearlong, arts focused experience to a select group of students. This program welcomes teens to explore, create and discuss contemporary art through hands on workshops, gallery tours, a trip to a nearby city to explore the arts there, and a large student planned event for other teens in the community.
Accepted applicants meet regularly once a month. Each meeting will include two parts: a private workshop with a local artist and a student led planning committee focusing on promoting teen involvement at the CAC. Dinner will be provided at all monthly meetings.
Applicants must be enrolled in high school, or home-schooled, and between the ages of 14-18 years old! Visit cincycac.org to apply!
🌧️Rain Garden 🌧️:
What does adversity look like? What’s the color of sadness? What can grow from challenge?
Join us tomorrow 12 pm to 4 pm to explore these and other questions through artmaking. Find us at @cincycac Creativity Center on the 6th floor.

I’ve been deeply vibing with the rain lately; like my garden, I’ve been soaking it in. I always loved the idea of a rain garden, and if you know me a little know that I’m all about transformation 🌀. I look forward to seeing what will emerge tomorrow!

Join us in celebrating @kateri_sparrow_ !!re!!_039;s Community Gallery exhibition, “Nature Deficit: Act of Desperation“ with a reception on June 29 in the CAC’s Creativity Center.
As the spring Artist in Resident, Sparrow encouraged the facilitation of loving connections between visitors and our mother earth. With a focus on nature and sustainable practice, the same themes arose, respect for our environment and botanical re-integration in everyday life. This reception recognizes Sparrow’s work and residency.
Stop by the CAC's Community Gallery between 10:30 a.m. and noon to meet the artist, enjoy some light bites, and create your own work with repurposed materials from the Zero Waste Art Lab.
🗓️ Because the next Creative Cafe falls on the weekend of July 4th, we are cancelling this upcoming event.
Vendors who have contacted us will be notified soon about future opportunities. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
@whitedsepulchrerecords is proud to present the inaugural Talk Low Music Festival happening this September in Cincinnati. @talklowfest brings five days of experimental music from around the world to various venues across Downtown, Over-The-Rhine, and Northside.
Talk Low’s mission is to provide unique contexts for deep listening and thoughtful engagement with music. Pulling from ambient, jazz, indie rock, electronic and all the genre shadings in between, Talk Low aims to bring world-class artists to Cincinnati who have never played here.
The CAC is thrilled to host Talk Low Music Festival on Sept. 29, from 5-7 p.m. with artists Joy Guidry, Niecy Blues, and the Johnson-Montgomery-Prymek Trio. We’ll be highlighting these artists throughout the summer on social media. For ticket information visit talklowfest.cargo.site to build your festival pass and learn more about each performer.
