About CAC Daily Life & the Facility

The Collingwood Arts Center is a unique facility, being the only residential arts facility in the state of Ohio. The center is really several facilities in one. it is a residential arts facility, a fully functioning performance and educational facility with a 608 seat acoustically exceptional theatre, and an outreach center for the arts.

Life within the center as a resident is reminiscent of college dorm life, as the rooms are very dorm like and the bathrooms and kitchen space are communal. Residents can often be found gathered in the courtyard for a summer grill out, or in the residents gallery enjoying conversation. Residents enjoy the ability to come and go as they please, but are held to a code of rules and regulation put in place to protect both the facility and themselves.
