At the corner of Camp and St. Joseph streets in New Orleans\u2019 eclectic downtown stands a 100,000-square-foot former warehouse building. Constructed in 1905 as the headquarters of K&B, a local drugstore chain, the building was donated to a passionate group of artists when K&B closed in the 1970s. The artists, who were intent on celebrating the growing trend of intertwining visual and performing arts, created the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), a 501(c)(3) organization that remains active today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
