5 Things You Didn’t Know About CCAC

Looking for a new way to spend a beautiful summer night outdoors? This summer is full of Wednesdays on the Green at Clifton Cultural Arts Center. Enjoy a new genre of music every Wednesday along with the Cincinnati community for FREE! Be sure to look out for a performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream to conclude the season in August.

Check out some really cool things you may not have know about CCAC, and get excited for their upcoming events!

Clifton Cultural Arts Center (CCAC) was originally built as the Clifton Public school (an elementary school).  During its tenure as such, actress Sarah Jessica Parker attended school here.

When the original school building was built, it only had two restroom facilities, both of which were in the basement.

For a brief period, the local jail was housed in the basement of the school.

There are three Rookwood water fountains in the building. 

The clock tower atop CCAC marks the geographic center of the Clifton neighborhood.
