Facilities & Rental

Our House is Your House

Whether you’re hosting a film festival, a multi-venue theater festival, or a private event, we have a collaborative community approach to utilizing our building and it’s amazing location.

About the Building

It’s historic (actually, two historic buildings fused together), and so are we. It’s in Over-the-Rhine, a neighborhood full of art galleries, studios, and design firms—the type of community our graduates work and live in.

Our faculty took a lead role in designing the building, and they created an open, accessible environment that promotes interaction. The building reinforces core program values: It’s a place where individuals can cross boundaries, a place where a community can thrive.

  • LEED certification: Our building has won awards for its environmentally sensitive design. 
  • A state-of-the-art printmaking facility that combines traditional and cutting-edge technologies.
  • Three galleries for exhibitions by students and faculty.
  • Student studios for all third- and fourth-year students (and select second-year students).
  • 24/7 security
SITE1212 is a center for community impact that reflects the dynamism and vibrancy of the AAC’s creative culture and fosters a creative community between students and neighborhood. It is an endlessly versatile, stand-alone space perfect for community events series, exhibitions, private events, and more.
