Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland
(Admission is only Free on Fridays. Admission for children under 12-years-old is always Free)
 

The Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art displays four seasons of exhibitions per year. It emphasizes progressive ideas that embrace a full spectrum of artistic issues, including vital political and social issues. Its wide-array of programs reflect cultural and artistic diversity celebrating national and international artistic achievements as well as contributions by regional artists.

Founded in 1968 as The New Gallery by Marjorie Talalay, Agnes Gund and Nina Castelli Sundell, the New Gallery became the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art in 1984. In 1990, the Center found its current 23,000 square-foot home in the former Sears building, which is part of the Cleveland Playhouse complex.

The Center has published approximately 50 scholarly exhibition catalogues receiving national recognition. And can be found at major art libraries and university and retail bookstores nationwide and abroad.

• Open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (Thursdays’ hours are extended to 8:00 p.m.). However, please note that the museum occasionally closes earlier than the posted times for special events. Parking costs may apply.
