Contemporary Arts Center
900 Camp Street
New Orleans, LA 70130

The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) presents year-round multi-disciplinary programming, including contemporary performing arts showcases, visual arts exhibitions, unique education programs, and other events that celebrate the art of our time. The CAC’s Performing Arts program features a specially curated season of jazz, from modern and avant garde to big band; contemporary classical and concert music from cutting-edge musicians and composers; and bold experiments in dance, theatre, and performance art by local, emerging, and internationally recognized artists.

The curatorial decisions regarding our Performing Arts are made by our Artistic Director, Jay Weigel. We use a collaborative planning process involving all senior staff of the institution. Attendance at several national performing arts conventions and consultation with other programmers nationally are also utilized. Finally, community-based organizations in New Orleans are involved as well.
