Center for Contemporary Arts

Founded in 1979, the Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) is one of the oldest artist-centered organizations in the American Southwest, an art space and cinematheque offering original exhibitions, independent films, performances, and educational programs. Aiming to create a community between artists and patrons, the CCA provides opportunities and a gathering space for people of all ages to discover art, film, dance, music, and performance in Santa Fe while supporting emerging and established artists. As of 2023, the organization had undergone significant restructuring and it began operating only as a cinematic venue.
