Starting Tuesday, February 23, Contemporary Art Center will resume normal visiting hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11-5:00. Visitors may visit the facility to view new art exhibits in three galleries. We will offer open house events starting in March. We plan to offer ticketed events starting in May. Mask wearing and social distancing are expected of all visitors while in the building. Hibernation was a very fruitful time. When visiting, please ask about our updates. For example, we installed state-of-the-art air purification systems to kill viruses.
