For over 30 years, it's been ADC's mission to support living artists, and ACA (Art Comes Alive) does just that. Now entering its 16th year, ACA has earned its reputation as the "Academy Awards for Art," and it's only getting bigger

Held inside our stunning 13,000 sq. ft. gallery in Cincinnati's vibrant Over-the-Rhine district, an artistic hub bursting with creativity, ACA is a career-making opportunity for contemporary artists.

This one-of-a-kind event connects artists with the people who can elevate their careers: interior designers, gallery owners, private collectors, corporate art buyers, and more. Each year, ACA grows in size, prestige, and and influence - and this year promises to be the biggest yet, featuring:

 - Over $450,000 in awards,
- New jurors,
- More exposure, opportunities, and ways to get your work seen and sold

If you're ready to take your art career to the next level, ACA 2025 is your moment!
