AFTA-Cincinnati

The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, comprised of the Carnegie Galleries, the Otto M. Budig Theatre and the Eva G. Farris Education Center, will utilize its historic building to create a leading arts organization. To this end we will provide a venue for emerging and established artists to create, perform and exhibit; provide educational opportunities for the discovery and enhancement of creativity; and celebrate the arts.

The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is a multidisciplinary arts venue for all ages and provides events, educational programs, and art exhibitions to the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community. With five art galleries, the magnificent, newly renovated turn-of-the-century Otto M. Budig Theatre, and the Eva G. Farris Education Center, The Carnegie is the largest arts venue in Northern Kentucky.
The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is located in Covington, Kentucky ten blocks south of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati. Housed in a former Carnegie public library built in 1904, The Carnegie is a 501(c) (3) organization serving the region with gallery shows featuring new and emerging artists; eclectic theatre performances and free and low cost arts education to inner city children and at-risk youth who otherwise would have no access to the arts.
