Space 301 Contemporary Arts Center Review

Very nice and clean people. All the art was very unique and I can't wait to come back and see new pieces of art.

Unmuseum is awesome, kids love it and the opening parties for the exhibits are good fun.

I had an amazing experience at the cac on my last visit. A staff member, Elizabeth gave my friend and I the most amazing tour of one of the exhibits! She was so sweet and informative. I was blown away with the amount of knowledge she had about the exhibit and the artist. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Amazing place from layout to content to lighting. Gives you world class art with information to go with it. Let's say an intimate space for art education & enjoyment.

This is my favorite building in Cincinnati designed by my favorite architect. So, that's amazing.

I come here roughly twice a year to see what new exhibits are coming through. My only complaint is that there are rarely any "fun" exhibits. For someone whose taste is very amateur when it comes to art, roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the pieces mean nothing to me and I just pass by.

Even my husband who is not an art guy loved this place! Some very beautiful and thought-provoking galleries and we just had the best time. Could have spent the whole day!

I'm a college student who has been doing internships in the art world for the past few years. I came to Cincinnati for a conference and stumbled upon the CAC while killing time downtown. The fact that it's free is amazing. The staff were also incredibly helpful and kind. The current exhibition, Creatures, is possibly my favourite exhibition I've seen in recent memory. I loved the diversity of takes on the idea of art with, for, and even by animals. There were works that engaged all of the senses (insect perfume?!) Not to mention, a whole enclosure of adoptable kittens on Sundays. Finally, I'd recommend asking for the access card to the Tranquility Room when you're done and making yourself a cup of tea. Every museum should have a room like that.

Wonderfully built modern architectural building. Exhibits are always very interesting. Favorite recent exhibits are Do Go Suh and Glenn Brown.

This is a great place to meet and get started on an evening in Cincinnati! We enjoyed a free tour (because of the construction, we could only visit a few of the floors) and found the artwork unique. It was a bit avant-garde, but certainly thought-provoking. There is a wall of swinging lights which captivated my attention and which would have been worth the price of paid-admission!

Parking was available on the street at meters. This is a short walk from a ton of activities in downtown and is a great place to enjoy art or a cup of coffee in the cafe.

When you go to arts residency on the 6 floor I didn t had a good time. Al I tried to was to trying to learn to sew an both the ladies wouldn t help. They don t have patience and the worst is that they made me feel bad about myself. Only reason I would come back because I don t have no where else to go.

Small-ish art museum. Nice place to stop in town if you'd like to see something that was supposed to have a deeper meaning that you understand. The exhibits when I went were well created, with enough signs to explain what I was missing from the pictures.

Kids area on the top floor is nice for kids that like to sit and do one thing for a long time. There isn't a ton of things to do up there and it can get crowded, so getting one of the fun ones can be tricky.

There are always interesting shows. We just saw Creatures: When Species Meet. It was truly delightful.

Multi-level building with unique arcitecture. Has a small black-box performance space for bands & other shows, and a gallery for visual art exhibitions and installations.

I just booked my wedding here, and so far, the planning experience has been great with CAC! Marty is awesome to work with.

So much fun for an entire day. Ride the Banshee if you're into roller coasters, she's the best! If you need to cook down, head over to Soak City water park adjacent to the amusement park. All inclusive with ticket or season passes available. There are live entertainment choices for all, some in an air conditioned Fest Haus, others in outdoor venues throughout the park. They offer a halloween haunt and Winterfest.

The art here is world class and it is free to take in. Everyone in Cincy should come at least once a year as it is a fantastic addition to the cultural scene in our city. We took in the Swoon exhibit and it was very inspiring. It is small enoigh that you can get through everytning well in 1.5 to 2 hours but large enough that it van attract serious exhibitions.

Molly Wellmans new basket and bottle just opened inside! Super great place!

In downtown Cincinnati this is a free gallery that changes exhibits on a regular basis. Some areas were closed off for new exhibit installation while we visited. The art we saw was thought provoking [dynamic 3 dimensional, motorization, video, and use of unusual materials in juxtaposition] and well presented in the space. One upper floor was designated interactive exhibit space geared for all ages. Four young boys and their guardian were having a great time there while we were there. There is a restaurant at entrance level.

Fun Awesome place to go when you need free fun for the family

Nice for Free. Mostly photograph art. Would be cool to have something historical. Parking at 7th and Vine was $5.00. Friendly staff. 6 floors with an elevator and security guard on each level. Great place for kids to interact on 6 to floor. They offer venues. Close to a few eateries.

Such a fun museum! Every time I went there the exhibit changed and was very interesting!
Great hang out for a Sunday!

I think I've this opinion for all the wrong reasons: still there wasn't much there. Almost too much space between exhibits. While the clown exhibit was lightly interesting... still my mom never let me leave my GI Joes laying all over the floor. I'm not sure why this was much different.

What a great museum! It apparently doesn't have any permanent connections which means you could come here many times and see something new. The theme at this time has a lot to do with mankind and our relationship to animals - interesting perspectives, definitely some humor and really creative ideas. The 2nd & 3rd floors were closed for an installation but even still, I felt like we got to see & appreciate a lot of unique art. The admission was free which was just wonderful. Definitely worth a visit.

The building architecture was very contemporary, it was a whole experience itself. The clown exhibition was terrifying and fascinating.

beautiful building with a really nice cafe space. the exhibitions are always changing and there really is something for everyone!

Free admission and rotating exhibits makes the CAC an enjoyable museum to stop in for a relaxing afternoon every couple of months.

Nice exhibitions, always try to stop by when in town

Seemed like it more suited for the blue hair crowd, not old folk blue hair, but the ones with the stretched out ear lobes.

It's just ok. One trip was enough for me. It's free so you can't really complain.

Great exhibit this weekend.
The facility is nice

Always five floors of amazement. This museum and the exhibits never disappoint.

Make sure to head to the 6th floor for hands on fun. Great little gift shop

Love this place. The exhibitions are always changing, so there's always something new to see!

Took my 12 year old daughter there, I'm not a big fan of art but it was really cool

A must see art center and remember to check back occasionally to look for the changing exhibits.

This was an amazing experience for my family!! So much for the kids to do and touch and manipulate! We also happened to be there while one of their artist residents was teaching a watercolor course, so we hopped in and got to create our own art!

Currently visits to the museum are free. There is art demonstrates how different mediums are used in art pieces.

Great cultural space, nice exhibitions and a great coffee bar

Been coming here every 3months looove it. And it is free and handicap accessible

Contemporary art is not really my thing but the exhibits here are at least thought provoking. Been here a few times for events and we always enjoyed ourselves.

Giving a low rating due to the fact they wouldn't let us look at the pictures and the art we kept getting followed around and made us very uncomfortable

Entertained the kid and had awesome exhibits with types of media that were new to me. The un-museum was great as well.

We love the CAC! We love Marty. It's a gorgeous building with a lot to see. We enjoy the event space and the uniqueness of each level of the building. Definitely a fun place to have a wedding!

One of the gems of our city. An incredibly dynamic modernist building designed by Zaha Hadid that is a piece of art unto itself. Wonderfully captivating and engaging rotating exhibits. I try to go once every few months to see the new exhibits, but I'll often go back to see things again as admission is free. One of my favorite places to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Neat place. The staff and security were welcoming and informative. There were a few rooms that were somewhat hidden.
When we visited the second floor was closed to change exhibits. The ever changing exhibits keep the public coming back for more.
The free admission provide no excuse for not going to this museum several times a year.

Really cool place. Free to get in. Alot of steps. Big place.

It's free and always showing contemporary work! Badass!

A very thoughtful museum, if the art show cases don't catch your train of thought the contemplation room will. It's full of heartfelt little books to read made by artists, and their interactive floor takes you back to the core of having fun and being a goofball. It's a much needed visit if you want to shift your perspective on life a little

Love! Beautiful building, great exhibit, great lunch, cool shop. Look forward to visiting every time I am in Cincinnati. And, so not skip the top floor 'unmuseum.' Small but cool.

Very fun art museum if you re in the CBD of Cincinnati. Easily walkable from fountain square, Carew Tower, and many other places. Although there isn t a large amount of stuff there ( at the current moment) it is definitely worth seeing for free !

The art was arty, I'm not a professional art critic or anything but it was a fun place to go and the exhibits were awesome. Entrance is free which is also a plus and they do have a few cool exhibits that you can go if you pay a little more.

A lot of interesting exhibits and fun interactive stuff on the top floor. It's pretty quick to get through but is free so worth it's worth the visit.

We have pictures of my daughter and grandaughter with the clowns around the house.

Love this place! I feel like I'm someplace else, it's a getaway right in town. The Un-museum ia great for kids, and we love to get a hot chocolate or coffee in the bistro. GREAT gift shop! Friendly staff and FREE admission!

I think the biggest challenge for someone new to the city was downtown parking near the center. There is no fee for this building. The sixth floor has a lot of things for elementary age to color and create. So many unique things to see out of the normal framed art. A staircase, creative projects, artistic visual and sound displays. Good to note the restrooms are in the basement. So many beautiful pieces. The staff is friendly and shared many insightful things about the art and artists represented.

Somehow I didn't realize that the CAC had free admission. We came for the Swoon exhibition and it was excellent! Really amazing to see how she had taken over such a massive space and left her imprint. Glad to see the CAC curators highlighting her work!

contemporary....don"t expect much in the way of abstract....photo expo on most of 5 floors right now....maybe YOU"ll like it better.

Amazing, but security on one floor was very rude to many families I saw walking by.

Swoon Canyon was incredible. I can't stop talking about it.

One of my favorite art museums. Always really great art on exhibit. And the space is just breathtaking. Highly recommend!

The art is wonderful- can't believe admission is free.

Free for all.
Not everything appealed me, but there was a curated choice of different art pieces. This is a great place.
