The Contemporary Art Center of Peoria (CACPeoria) opened in 1987 and serves as a non-collecting contemporary art museum. It focuses on exhibiting regional, national, and international artists working in various media including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation art. CACPeoria is located within the Arts District of downtown Peoria, Illinois and aims to foster artistic expression and engagement with contemporary culture through exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach. The center regularly hosts artist talks, workshops, and performances alongside its visual art presentations. It operates as a key cultural hub for the city of Peoria and surrounding areas. The building itself underwent significant renovations in 2018 to expand exhibition space and improve accessibility.
