Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) has long been a place to explore the world – and our own creativity – through art and ideas. With Artful Adventure, even the smallest visitors will have that chance.

“Last year’s inaugural Artful Adventure confirmed something we’ve long believed at CAC – families are looking for meaningful ways to experience art and community together,” says Carolyn Hefner, chief of external affairs with CAC. “We saw children and adults engaging side-by-side, creating, exploring exhibitions, and making memories in spaces can often be perceived as primarily for adults.It’s also a wonderful way to introduce new families to CAC while raising support for the programs the serve thousands of young people each year.”

All proceeds from Artful Adventure support CAC’s mission to remain a lab for understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us through the creation and experience of all contemporary art forms.

“CAC serves more than 14,000 learners annually through educational programming, school partnerships, and hands-on art experiences,” says Hefner. “A family-friendly fundraiser is a natural extension of that work because it allows families to experience firsthand the creativity, curiosity, and connection that contemporary art can inspire.”

This fun-filled day combines fan-favorite CAC Family Fest experiences with special artist activations, collaborative art projects, food, music, and interactive gallery experiences throughout the museum.

Highlights include

Clay Ghost Making with current CAC-exhibiting artist Michael Stillion
Collaborative printing with local artists Jon Flannery and Joe Walsh of Take a Moment Studios
Artist interactions with CAC Artist-in-Residence Micah Mickles
Storytime with Zaza Scents
Gallery ghost hunts through the exhibition “Michael Stillion: And then it was flowers”
Post-It Poetry inspired by the exhibition “Gee Horton: Chapter 4, In Another Lifetime”
A giant collaborative Blue Tape Mural
Artful City community-building installations
A family dance party with DJ Nat Jones
Little Fox face painting
Interactive playscape experiences for younger guests

“One of the biggest highlights is the opportunity to experience CAC as and interactive playground for creativity,” says Hefner. “Families can participate in hands-on art activations throughout the building, explore current exhibitions, and engage with artists and creative partners from across the community.

Guests can also enjoy light brunch bites from Magnificent Morsels, Munch! Midnight + Brunch, and others, along with beverages from Rhinegeist, and more. Urbana Café will be open throughout the day for coffee and treats for purchase.

The atmosphere is playful, energetic, and uniquely CAC. For many families, it’s a chance to make lasting memories while supporting an institution that believes art should be accessible to everyone.

“We love that Artful Adventure removes the idea that fundraising events need to be formal or adult-focused,” says Hefner. “Instead, it invites multiple generations across our community to engage together while supporting programs that ensure young people throughout the region have access to the arts.”

All proceeds from Artful Adventure support CAC’s mission to remain a lab for understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us through the creation and experience of all contemporary art forms.

Artful Adventure is sponsored by Corrie Loeffler + Adam Turer, Carolyn + Cody Hefner, and Shannon + John Morris
