About Columbus Area Arts Council

CAAC has been the leading arts organization in Columbus, Indiana since 1972. Fulfilling our mission, “to strengthen the community through arts and culture,” with a vision “to be the central resource for the arts,” our work remains especially relevant as we pivot to inspire and uplift the community through the challenges of 2020.

With new online activities, exhibitions and virtual tours, and most recently The Mask Project, we remain committed to programming focused around education, engagement and enrichment, with a priority to make the arts accessible to everyone. Support for CAAC enables our organization to continue to provide innovative arts programs that highlight a broad range of creative talent from Columbus and beyond.
