CAC’s Black Box —located in the lower level of the conic Zaha Hadid-designed Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in the heart of downtown Cincinnati—is the ideal launchpad for grassroots organizations to perfect their work and present it to the public. Equipped with essential lighting, sound, and versatile seating arrangements, the CAC’s Black Box offers flexible configurations to accommodate a variety of artistic disciplines and events.

The Basement: CAC's Black Box Lab is made possible through the generosity of the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation. The inaugural Basement partners include:

• American Legacy Theatre
• Cindependent Film Festival
• Pones
• Red Light Jazz Room
