Overview
The Centre européen d'actions artistiques contemporaines (CEAAC) is a contemporary art centre of national interest that aims to support and promote contemporary creation for all audiences. Its location at the crossroads of Europe is central to its artistic and cultural project, which focuses on issues related to the circulation of images, vernacular cultures and public health. Since 1995, the CEAAC has operated from a former glass and porcelain shop in a heritage-listed Art Nouveau building, organising an average of three exhibitions per year alongside a multidisciplinary programme of events and offsite projects. It also offers residencies for artists and researchers in collaboration with a network of institutions and cultural organisations across Europe, and since 2023 has run a visitors' programme for curators and visual art professionals (Hop) as well as a production residency for invited artists. CEAAC is an association under the local law of 1908 supported by the DRAC Grand Est, the Grand Est Region, the Collectivité européenne d'Alsace and the City of Strasbourg.
